We joke about older people not being able to use technology properly but their generations knew a ton of different skills that we don’t know how to do and would look equally dumb for.

It is all relative. If you go to a college campus and pull a random sample of 50 “tech savvy” young people, 49 of them will not be able to create a simple Microsoft Access database. Yet their great grandparents carried out all of the organization and destruction of World War II using punch card computer systems.

The generational culture wars are nauseating. A lot of Boomers are spoiled children who had the world handed to them on a silver platter. But the youngest generations are not nearly as smart as they think they are.

Technology is also not advancing like many think that it is. Between 1998 and 2008 the typical person went from nicotine-colored Windows 98 computers and dial up internet to the iPhone. But what significant advancements have we made from 2011 to 2021? I doubt that Generation Z will see advancements anywhere close to what Boomers and Silents saw in their lifetimes.

The fact that Google auto completes all of our sentences is a reminder of how unoriginal our problems are. Dementia is going to wreak havoc on generations that rely on technology that is heavily password protected (bank accounts, social media, email, etc). Two factor authentication and password recovery questions will make it all the more difficult Mermaids can definitely be black. Africa is surrounded by water too.
