My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

    You say YouTube generation I say they’re just learning how to be good capitalist. Do something easy and get quick results? You just described how everything is done these days. It’s not them, it’s us. They’re learning it from us.

      Maybe. It was a different time when we grew up. We had time to understand tech because there wasn’t much distinctions. I remember having 2 TV channels and there was no handheld devices or mobile phones.

      Now tech is everywhere. So they don’t have “time” to focus on learning it well, because they want to make money, not learn things deeply.
