I've trained a lot of 18-22 y/os in the last 10 years and they are fine. Let's not become the boomers please...
Yeah, being dumb is hardware-agnostic. As some guy put it, "being stupid isn't a big deal anymore; some of my best friends are stupid".
It just stunlocks me a little bit as younger people have been around tech their whole life, unlike boomers, who were born before computers.
"been around tech their whole life" more like they have a locked down phone, locked down game console and MAYBE a desktop computer. It's too rounded out and consumer friendly now, you never have to peek under the hood.
Idk, most likely its region/class dependant because I had dumb phones, some very early androids, and an Athlon 64 3000+ pc and I'd call myself a zoomer
edit: before that I had some ancient family pc but it's only relevance is getting me entertained, didn't tinker with it or anything. Also my old phone's 4.4 android was my favorite because it was polished enough while still letting you do dumb shit with it
I was born in 04, I work in tech so it's definitely dependant on a lot of factors, I think the biggest being siblings/parents that are into tech. My oldest brother was into tech so he taught me a lot of piracy stuff from a young age.
Can confirm, had a similar upbringing
