LOL I wish it were like that. The "kids and their superior grasp of technology." That's how it's supposed to be. They're supposed to be smarter than us.

Indeed, with desktops and internet forums it really did seem to be going that way...and then with smartphones becoming specialized as content consumption and attention-capture devices, the kids started going backwards.

Yeah, they can swipe their lil' fingers and use instagram now, but so can a chimp. It's designed that way.

Using files and folders or printing their homework? Relegated back to the esoteric and arcane arts. It's tragic.

But this kids who do make a point to learn and teach themselves are doing incredible things.

So I guess, the average has dropped, and now we're seeing more dramatic extremes on either end of the spectrum. 🤔
