generations are fake and everything but like to induldge for a moment, i suppose i would be considered on the gen z-millenial cusp, add in the fact that i grew up with an older sister and absorbed a lot of stuff through her and that we were pretty poor so didn't have consistent wifi access until 2015, there's a noticeable divide sometimes between me and my mostly comfortably gen z friends

this usually doesn't come up but having to spend 10 minutes explaining to my flatmate how to use an analogue alarm clock is truly one of the most baffling experiences of my life. she had absolutely no clue how to set it to the correct time and then set an alarm

#in her defence im not the best at explaining things to ppl #but its an alarm clock i thought it was pretty self explanatory #just twist the knob and the hands move??#one knob for the time the other for the alarm?#i just set it for her in the end #i was also reading a thing about how young ppl these days are actually worse with computers #bc like easy access to the internet with smartphones means they've never had to use desktops #and yh i notice that as well #i changed her goddamn life when i explained control f to her #she was like reading whole ass documents looking for single sentences #this was a year and a half into our degree #wild shit #this and my new job in admin that has made me realise that like a good 20%~ of government spending could be cut #if ppl just had like basic digital literacy has me concerned for the future #and im by no means a whizz with this kind of stuff #i just know how to google #im still to dumb to know which one of my cities skylines mods is fucking up my game tho #my transport lines keep breaking and i dont know why 😫
