I've also heard about a general problem-solving deficiency plaguing late Millennials through Gen Z, and I've seen some of my peers give up real easily when computers throw errors. Also worked with a guy once who was just completely unable to parse an email without help. I'm a late Millennial, I don't know what changed in childhoods seven years behind me.
What's your sample size and community? What fields are we talking about here?
My sample size is less than five in a corporate setting doing common clerical work. The anecdote I posted is entirely anecdotal and not meant to be a substantial logical argument, just a weak agreement that's slightly more participatory than "Coffee (Like)."
Sorry, I wasn't being dismissive, I just want to learn more about the areas where this applies. By contrast, I've experienced whizzkid zoomer baby businessmen in corporate offices who want to try and use AI and blockchain at every opportunity - but I think that implies another sort of technical illiteracy. I think there's a tendency to want to plug in premade blackbox solutions without understanding them fully.
At least now I can sit here smugly like "haha, you may be a multimillionaire successful artist, but at least I can use a keyboard LOSER!!"
Where is this from? And also, does that mean she dictates everything she "writes" like some ancient illiterate person?
I have 10 fingers on my keeb, don't know you guys thoAgora 1 Bille eyelash 0
I mean we are all typing here, right?
I still type with my two index fingers and don't really know how to aim in shooters properly. Do I qualify as a zoomer who doesn't know how to write and to use a computer mouse? IMHO, It's all relative and depends on the definition of the "ability/inability to do smth". If she says "I never learned to type" it's not the same as "I can't type at all". Maybe she meant she can't type fast enough because she never learned it as a separate skill, or smth like that, idk, I'm too lazy to google the article. But I can hardly imagine a person in today's technology-filled world who just straight up cannot use the keybord, if only they're not Amish or from a Central African tribe.
Her interview or something. https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/billie-eilish-just-said-the-most-clueless-thing-about-gen-z The person that showed me of course didn't have the source so i had to dug it up.
Me too. I type like a big boy.
Yeah i think it's just a massive exaggeration and her being tone deaf to label the entire generation as not knowing. She can probably type on a basic level. It is funny though to imagine her being completely stumped on how to use a keyboard despite touch typing her entire life.
Her standing in front of a stove: "Fuck, what are all of these switches and buttons, where's my touchscreen?"
Need a boomer to draw up this into a comic rn.
Then Ben Garrison will come out of the blue, making it political somehow, and after that some schizo 4channer will redraw Garrison's version into an offensive caricature about jews controlling the world, which will spark an outrage on Twitter, ending up in a CNN report about hate speech
Don't forget someone making an edit where everything is changed to "cum".
Yes, you are. This thread may help you to finally type like a big 6th grade boy instead of a little baby.

I appreciate your effort, but all I actually need to finally become the fastest-typing man in the galaxy is to buy a quality gaming chair. I'm not doing it just because I'm afraid of my superhuman powers that could be unleashed when I get comfortable enough.
"What if we kissed on the toilet gaming chair?"
