  • Being able to use menus and user interfaces is a bit different to being able to read and comprehend any amount of text.

    not really? if you’re in some program that has a shit load of menus, you don’t know what 99% of that shit does. you just open the menu, look around for words you know and teach yourself what the program does that way. that’s how most people in my (millennial) generation learned how to use computers. we had some bullshit class in school that taught us copy/paste and the rest we figured out on our own. kids are born now knowing how to copy/paste, they can figure out menus and interfaces just fine. it’s older generations who are not able to comprehend menus and interfaces.

    as far as your conversations with people online, that’s just anecdotal and also completely based on your own perception in your own brain. you don’t know if they comprehended it or not, maybe they just didn’t feel what you were saying, don’t agree with you and don’t care to put the effort in to tell you why. doesn’t necessarily mean their reading comprehension is low lmao
