From hanging out in computer-related forums and subreddits, I've noticed that you people have a hard time downloading and burning an .iso to a thumb drive. Doesn't matter what the .iso is, it could be Windows, Linux, whatever. It completely flummoxes you.
This is a sorry state of affairs, because even soccer moms in 2003 could download Windows XP, burn it to a CD-R, and go from there. It was a skill that pretty much everyone possessed. But kids today? Not so much.
But nowadays, it seems like if you asked a Fortnite-American to burn an operating system to a USB drive, they piss their pants in terror like the kid at the end of Ransom. You just cannot figure it out, can you?
Why is this? Are you people simply stupid? Is it a consequence of growing up with smartphones? Do you even understand the concept of an operating system?
What do you do when you need to reinstall Windows? Do you just throw the laptop away and buy a new one?

There is a distinct bell curve regarding the ability to use technology and troubleshoot problems that has boomers at one end, and zoomers at the other. Milennials/Gen X are in the middle, and can actually figure shit out when they have to.
When Zoomers have children they will be just as retarded as their parents and will have even less critical thinking skills, and even shittier haircuts

Zoomers will never know the joy watching 9/11 live on television. My question is why did you guys ruin music? You know theres a bigger version of the ukelele called a guitar, and it doesn't sound as gay, right?

It’s so weird to think there’s a whole generation of people that were too young / not even born yet on 9/11. Do they have a “you’ll never forget where you were when” moment? I’m 37 and for my group that would be 9/11 and Boomers would be JFK being shot.

Yes but the only people who play that are men trying to get women on tiktok. I don’t know what made the Ukelele big other than its mobile and easy to play and has a retarded aesthetic to it that a guitar doesnt. Everytime i see a zoomer with one I want to break it over their head. However you also play a melodica.

Vurry young. I kept doing the limp gay wrist thing and was pretty effeminate and had to restrain myself from acting as such, but thats at an age before you have a concept of what liking anyone is. So it wasn’t until like middle school that you go Hmmm I could be with a dude. And then the thing that cements it as “Yeah this isn’t a phase” is getting turned on by anything gay because its clear your body is telling you “You’re a faggot idiot”

It is 100% COVID. Thats all these zoomers talk about. But Zoomers also adopt other generational grievances. Like all of them talk about being affected by 9/11 despite barely being conscious for the after effects of it like the Iraq war. So COVID gave them a big event to feel victimized by even though the extent of their suffering for it was “THEY LITERALLY CANCELLED PROM AND OUR GRADUATIONS!” Who gives a fuck faggot? You didn’t even get sick or die.

Yeah I figured it would be Covid - just there wasn’t a big “moment” like 9/11 or JFK for Covid but all the big changes everyone had to follow. I’m guessing that will be what so many blame their problems on later in life - “I was a kid during Covid, they cancelled stuff!” Like it’s PTSD.
It’s so weird to think about growing up with the internet being everywhere and smart phones being common. I don’t think we even had the internet available in my junior high and in high school I remember they limited you on how many internet sources you could use for a paper since the internet wasn’t a “trusted source” yet. The first IPhone came out like right as I graduated college.

Even though I technically grew up on the internet it keeps getting more normalized that even I think its weird growing up with phones being common place and everything. Like i said in a previous comment my early experience with the internet was the first iterations of Youtube and Newgrounds and shit. The idea of kids today already having social media and phones and all this shit doesnt make sense to me.
