      Late Gen x and early gen y had an off-line childhood and digital adulthood. I think that explains a fair amount about computer literacy, because a lot of what they were exposed to is the base config so they had to learn their way up.

      although I find that there are plenty of both that are absolutely clueless about tech

      Another weird thing that changed in that generation was communication style. Sms and email bred their own language and abbreviations…

      Other notables - digital wayfinding (online maps and Gps), music purchase and consumption, proliferation of social media, adoption of online persona, all changes that gen x / early y lived through.

      TL;DR? Why not just go watch another five second video of a kitten with its head in a toilet roll, or a 140 character description of a meal your friend just stuffed in their mouth. “nom nom”. This blog post is not for you.

      wow, this some next level obnoxious boomer shit.

          there is no statement there so I don’t know what you mean by “incorrect”. all i see is someone who doesn’t know how people use tldr.

            Was it too long for you and you didn’t read it?

            In that case …This blog post is not for you.

            That’s what the question mark does. It marks a question.

            RTFA? RTFA!

            Or someone who knows very well people use tldr to skip reading the post and you are annoyed that he caught you being that lazy.
