  • I’m responding to the premise of the thread. I agree it doesn’t make sense to characterise people based on age brackets, however I am noting a pattern I’ve observed in reality, not speculating a fictional scenario. It’s also true my view is anecdotal, backed up by memes and other anecdotes and not by science or extensive research.

    However I’d like to point out that we are in a group called “memes” and the thread is about “used to consume not produce”, the OP’s meme image is specifically talking about the pattern where younger people don’t understand fundamentals of tech and just consume it. As an IT professional of nearly 20 years I have observed the same phenomenon and so I wrote a funny reply based on that.

    You’re right IT probably won’t entirely evaporate that’s crazy. As crazy as picking apart a funny comment to wag your finger at a well meaning stranger.

    It’s gonna be really funny when all us millenials die and the tech infrastructure evaporates.

    What age do we think they’ll be set back to? Pre industrial? Bronze?

    My prediction seems extreme but don’t forget that while books continue to exist, the average adult born after 2000 would rather die than read one.



  • Growing up, I used to cross dress and lip sync my favourite divas for my friends and family. No one seemed to mind that except my parents who flipped out over it ( Catholic ).

    Frankly I don’t think any child should be ashamed of having a bit of fun. I don’t remember thinking “yeah I’m gonna be a girl now” - I was just dressing up to make my sister and cousins laugh… But society loves to project it’s ideas onto kids hey!

    Well there’s a simple explanation right? When you’re growing up grappling with issues like homosexuality, disability or just feeling like an outsider - spending more time at a computer provided an escape from a judgemental and unwelcoming world. This is the same reason so many of us are night owls well into adulthood, cause we grew up feeling safer when the adults were asleep and we could maintain our personal boundaries.
