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.
It seems like a lot of people almost delight in their tech illiteracy. And the big corporations are laughing all the way to the bank.
Caught my teenage cousins bragging about how they can “make a video game without any coding”. It was this shitty iPad app I’d never heard of.
We’ve come a long way from re-creating space invaders in mode 7 on a BBC Micro during break times at school.
I mean, technically competent people sometimes do too. “Every technology I don’t use is obsolete and insecure” is a badge of honor for some people.
