Gregory's Server@SwiftOnSecurity EXACTLY!
I'm shocked at the #TechIlliteracy of post-millenial #Kids despite them having easier access to #Documentation and #HowTos than I could've ever dreamed of, despite having #ISDN in 1999...

 @ikanreed @SwiftOnSecurity Yeah, because the availability of high bandwith allows the propagation of low quality fancy shit in lieu of good writeups and howtos... Needless to say people don't even get #TechLiteracy taught in #School and so in 2019 I did met a highschool graduate on a dual-study/apprenticeship position who confessed to me that they've never ever used a #PC before. And I'm not talking about #Linux or a #Mac or #Windows in General but like how to use a #Keyboard & #Mouse... @ikanreed @SwiftOnSecurity I was completely speechless because even as a millenial born in 1992 this was more or less unthinkable to me to be possible. I don't expect much in terms of #TechLinteracy but someone who was deemed eligible for university in 2019 should be able to turn a PC on, enter a password and open #MicrosoftWord or even #NotePad of all things... Shit that even the #ECDL fake-#certification expects people to be able to do... Apparently this person never got to touch a PC b4. @ikanreed @SwiftOnSecurity And no, that person wasn't from some marginalized family living on foodstamps or whatever, but like their allowance was likely bigger than my net payout I had on that job... |
@kkarhan @SwiftOnSecurity not if all their search engines ever feed them are youtube tutorials that obfuscate deep understanding for convenience of presentation.
The quality of potentially available information is better than it has ever been, BUT the signal to noise ratio has gotten far worse.
