Zoomers are not, in fact, way faster with phones than I'll ever be. I clumsily use my swipe keyboard faster than they type (and they look at it like it's black magic even though I've been using that shit for 10 years now).

Also I know what a file system is. Have you tried to get a non-tech oriented zoomer who's been using phones and tablets all their life to wrap their head around that concept ? Yet my boomer mom can use it competently, and she's quite bad with tech.

The younger generation does some things better and more instinctively, true, but just like I never became a genius at electronics by only using them at a surface level all my life, and way more than my elders (and despite having some interest in it), the fact that they've been spoon fed tech doesn't automatically turn them into technological übermensch or some shit.

I am a part of gen z, and while they may be fast with some specific functions of their phone, they are useless when it comes to anything on a desktop. So many people don't understand filesystems.

And the Ai boosted stuff is usually shite.

No they don't. They know ticktock better then I do, but you ask them to get into app data and you'll get a blank look
