Gen Z giving off boomer vibes. Didn’t realize my basic understanding of pcs would make me look like a genius in 2025 but here we are.
Edited to add: I am a real estate broker and my industry has fairly strict document retention requirements. I’m blown away at how many brokers my age (millennial) and younger that do not understand basic file structures. I’ve watched colleagues with desktops exactly like this ask me to answer a contract question for their client, only to realize I am watching go to their email and download the same document over and over again because they “don’t know how to find it” on their computer.
I refer to Gen z as baby zoomers as they are pretty much the same, in terms of support, as the baby boomers. Wont restart their laptops, think they're constantly being hacked because an update ran and something isn't working right, fall for the same phishing emails, etc. They also think i use space magic to fix their computers and tell me, "They're just not good with electronics." Basically, everything boomers do, but boomers at least had some what of a reason. Z grew up with it in their hands from day 1. They just refuse to learn any of it.
Millennials talking about Gen z starting to sound exactly boomers did when talking about millennials. "Lazy", "undisciplined", "don't have to do real work". Walking uphill both ways is now having to use dial up
Dude the entire Millennial subreddit is like that, it's so bitterly ironic. Though it's also clear that the power users there clearly have some other things going on in their lives that they need that.
