Me today with a co-worker, discussing Kingdom Come 1. They were impressed with the game's attention to detail but one thing stood out, the save-game potion label/icon "doesn't look quite right"...
Well, it's a floppy disk!
"Huh?"
You're right, my bad, it's Total Commander smh

My ssd is sda (with a sda1 boot partition and an encrypted root partition). I may be in Gen Z but I also have Autism, granted I didnt grow up with a lot of technology but I always squeezed every ounce out of them. When I was 13 I installed Linux, by 16 I already knew how to use a terminal (and manage the entire system with it), today I would say im relatively good at basic IT and basic network management (although im struggling greatly at installing coreboot).
Conclusion: Gen Z/Alpha probrally wont be great at computers but there will probrally be many individuals who will be significantly more advanced at computers. I was watching YouTube and a found a video of a 15 year old installing Arch manually in less than 10 minutes on a Chromebook. So tbh I wouldn't be worried tbh (at least about this specifically).

I introduced my kids to video games (the "good ones" 😁) and they have always had a PC+old consoles, so now they know at least the basics, and mods gta5 and minecraft, etc and are generally at ease with things.
Still prefers mobile apps to photoshop though 😔 you can only bring the horse to the water, you can't make him drink.
It's gonna be really funny when all us millenials die and the tech infrastructure evaporates.
What age do we think they'll be set back to? Pre industrial? Bronze?
My prediction seems extreme but don't forget that while books continue to exist, the average adult born after 2000 would rather die than read one.
It won't evaporate, there are plenty of IT folks among youth.
It doesn't make sense to characterize users by age brackets - it's not that millenials are predominantly well-versed.

I'd say that technologically millennials really have it best over everyone else.
Us millennials had to figure out the technology as it evolved into what it is today we know how bad it really was before it got really good.
I remember back in high school around 2002 we got cable internet for the first time we had all of three megabytes download. That was tremendously fast.
Movies were in divx format and could be dled from peer to peer networks. Morpheus, zazaa, Ares.
Dang those were the days.

Wasn't Indy knowingly bluffing in this scene?
