>WOW LOL WOW LOOK THIS PERSON WAS NEVER TAUGHT A FUNCTION
Clearly, your mother has been doing her best for the past 25 years despite the systems that fail her. Shame the same cant be said for you.

>older sister taught me about p2p sharing and emulators
>she cant install microsoft word by herself anymore

my dad just yelled at me because I told him to get google fiber and the pajeet on the phone said he can use yahoo and then he freaked out when he was "forced" to use gmail and yelled at me asking why she lied to him while screaming

I've never once had to deal with a compressed file as a cash accountant
I do have to deal with AS400 and .xml files

I read somewhere that zoomers have the same amount of technological literacy as a boomer since they technically never need a computer to access to internet or save files. Grim stuff

Most people alive today don't understand any of the following:
>How to use context menus for more than cut and paste
>How to use the left-hand pane of Explorer
>How to navigate via command prompt
>How to navigate the computer without a mouse or trackpad
>Basically anything to do with hotkeys or macro
>Use advanced search operators
>Troubleshooting, in general
We live in a mass scale competency crisis

Older people all around the world have a really difficult time with technology. I can't believe we're about to enter the AI and robotics era and boomers are still having trouble with the fucking internet. Things are advancing way too fast for them.

>>716420140 (OP)
the funny thing is that zoomers and genA are exactly the same

Ai will save them. It basically a millennial tech nerd son that can do anything

>AI hallucinates
>the iPad kid proceeds to rm -rf / --no-permissive-root

i dunno how much u know but when ppl especially the older generation """"use """"" computers at work they usually do the super narrow work they r assigned to do and thats it . basically something a monkey can do . just couple weeks earlier i had taken a day off and had to explain over a call to my boss who has twice my years on the job and makes twice as much how to attach a file to an email

>>716422034
That could happen with real people as well

>>716420140 (OP)
