At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.
tech literacy peaked idk. shit’s frustrating. boomers refused to learn for decades and kids who grew up on smartphone and ipad had their technology education stolen from them by ui design that coddled lazy old folks.
It’s no slight to the zoomers either. Growing up as computers became more prevalent, I always assumed that the generation behind me would be hyper-competent in terms of programming, software dev, etc since they were going to be surrounded by the tech from birth. I didn’t foresee functionality becoming SO abstracted that you don’t have to have much system knowledge at all, even getting all the way through a CS degree.
yeah it’s accessibility but the access was to your wallet and your data, not empowering users to understand and use computers. by trivializing everything they infantilize everyone.
I can get through to my folks with some analogizing because they actually used card catalogs and physical filing systems a million years ago, but the kids who have never seen a floppy disk don’t have any of that to build on.
