Helped a Zoomer coworker build a PC for gaming and was then shocked watching him try to navigate Windows and being confused on basic things. Then I realized that, yeah, he probably never really used a desktop for much unlike us Millennials who grew up sitting at desks. He’s doing much better a couple years later so they are definitely able to adapt though!
I thought they would be wiz kids...
They know how to use technology but they have no idea how it works or what to do if it breaks.
The most satisfying joke in Questionable Content is one when robot asks another, 'the hell is a PDF?'
Yes you are a monolith block when born in a certain age group.
Nothing wrong with that statement apparently.
Divide and conquer.
Well yeah I didn't learn at all about computers even in high school, when students did use a computer it was a cheap Chromebook. I bearly grew up with computers and thats the same for most people, the difference is I have autism so I hyprfocus on computers :3
Youth bad, hate youth
Haha funny
This is the same rhetoric the Boomers used to keep us down.
Every generation is smarter than the last, us millennials need to learn to cope without ageist propaganda.
I have never rotated a PDF
And I can't actually imagine why you'd need to?
But I can imagine it's pretty simple, like "print" then "print to pdf" and landscape? Or something?
Usually when people scan documents, they will need rotating, croping, deskewing, etc. Another case can be when someone made a muti page document for printing with mixed 90° rotation pages. You don't ever intend to print it and don't want the mixed rotation.
There are tech savvy people in every generation and some dumbos. IMO the low bar for being tech savvy has nothing to do with PDFs, it's whether or not you can install a functioning operating system on a device. Anyone who can do that can figure out any of that other stuff.
