  • I disagree for the term “tablet-fed” as it classifies anyone who used a tablet growing up and not specifically people who stayed within the cushy UX bounds. A lot of the future programmers & tech savvy people are going to have grown up from using tablets. Example, installing mods for minecraft PE when i was ~7 was my first experience actually doing something with tech.

    I’m not far enough down the tech rabbithole to use Arch like a lot of people here, but compared to the rest of the population who can’t find powerpoint that’s right infront of their faces I’d be considered tech-savvy to them.





  • I don’t think you understand just how locked down modern school laptops are. They don’t have access to Google snake, much less something like discord to chat with their friends. I semi-volenteer with my highschools library and I have to make tickets because some kids date/time was wrong and they didn’t have the ability to fix it. We don’t even have the ability to share PowerPoints anymore. The people that look on them are also the overworked IT guys that have to deal with these BS date/time tickets all day.
    Teenagers are crafty and don’t have respect for the technology provided to them. I’ve seen (on multiple occasions) my peers beat the screen of the free laptop repeatedly if it’s too ‘slow’.
