I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
You shouldn’t feel to bad gen x and millennials created the web and how most tech is today. The generation after these are damn near tech illiterate. If it’s not an app or buttons to click they’re lost.
wowee is it really that bad for them? I wouldve thought since they grew up with tech that it would just be intuitive to them.
This warms my geriatric millennial heart
Technically, every generation up until now contributed to modern tech.
But anyway, even if we consider just those who did directly, I am pretty sure you should still also include boomers and even the silent generation.

Seems modern enough already.
Some boomers definitely helped in it, but do remember even the youngest boomers are 60+ now. While they did help, it wasn’t anywhere near what gen x and then millennials did. Not discounting them at all. Also while yes the younger era of the net with darpa is from boomers and the silent gen, I’m more talking about what the web and tech is today. They %100 laid the foundation, we just built the rest.
