    No most millennials are also too lazy because they stopped giving a shit about computers when it stopped being a requirement to use the internet like 10-15 years ago because smartphones.

    Most who did haven’t in at least a decade, and wouldn’t unless you put a gun to their head.

    For some reason the vast majority of people seem to just want to ignore the machines that literally run our society, and its fucking maddening.

    FFS the amount of people who I work with in IT and even then don’t really give a shit about their daily computing is absolutely fucking baffling.

    Its really just a smattering of people from all ages who actually know how to use a computer because they’re actually interested in doing so.

      I’m in this comment, and I don’t like it. I still fix “computers” for a living, but when I get home, most days, the last tech I want to interact with is anything more complex than my phone.

      I like to think I know how to use a computer, but I mostly use my phone for private stuff. I have a few things running on my PC, but they’re all online now in my local network and they have a mobile website through which I interact with them. Even my TV runs a frontend for things on my computer. Computer stuff has become an even broader spectrum of devices and skills than it used to be 20 years ago.
