Its crazy cuz this would have never happened if they continued educating Gen Z/Alpha on computer basics like they did Millenials. But now kids in school don’t understand anything about computers because they only have ever used apps. I have a buddy that teaches a highschool computer elective and he spends his first class explaining files, folders, and basic computer functions.
Tin foil hat time: The ‘assumption’ that internet-natives like GenZ would pick up where millennials left off, was in fact a deliberate dereliction.
If it is, it is also a double-edged sword for them. A shortage of skilled workers drives up the cost of it. Even if they keep us old guys at our desks til we die there, we’re still going to.

North Americans only need to be smart enough to consume.
Turns out that tech education is needed, no matter what how young people are
