>the skill barrier to getting a full system is “basic literacy, to read the wiki”

if GenZ knew how to read they would be very disappointed right now

in the age of tablets and tiktok, basic literacy is quite a big ask

It really is nothing new. People quickly close windows with errors, they go out of they way to avoid reading actual message.

That's what they said about GenX, Millennials, and probably every other generation before them. Something something, "OK boomer."

they absolutely did not say that tiktok and tablets are destroying basic literacy about GenX or Millenials

if anything, they said the kids were good with technology

Yeah cause that's what he was talking about

I know. I was emphasising that this time is not like before. That there are major differences, and things look similar only on a very superficial level.
