I feel like the people I interact with irl don’t even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.

    The average person nowadays could not create and reliably access a Facebook account if they didn’t have auto complete/password save.

    The worst is twenty-year-olds that have never used a desktop. They just stare at the mouse, keyboard, and monitor like they have no clue what to do.

      My kid is just getting into gaming and I made sure to encourage them to game on PC for just this reason. They still prefer the console but understand a mouse and keyboard.

      They can’t really read yet, but once they can I plan to start including them in my non gaming PC activities to make sure they’re comfortable in that environment.
