I'm gen z :[ ouch. To be fair though yeah, not that many gen z actually have digital literacy. I need to help my friends the same age as me with things boomers would also ask me for help with. It's kind of sad having a very surface-level consumer relationship with the wonderful world of the internet and tech

Yea... and I realize how harsh it sounds but like, I put "lazy" in quotes because I don't think it's really laziness. Maybe more boredom? The environments' just been designed to not invite exploration. Everything is just automatic and instant now. Innovation is driven by need. The need has been engineered away, for the most part.
