Some?? In my experience ALL.
The older generation grew up in the time that you had "to get it" on some level to do anything.
The current gen ((my) kids 12,15) just don't use it the moment it doesn't work. Zero effort, zero will to learn. Because there's always another option which does work instantly. Fuck privacy, fuck my rights.
No offense but I feel like as a parent theres a lot you could have done and can still do to mitigate that. Like, it's reasonable to be mad at the exploitative reasons for tech being the way it is but you're the parent and you've had a lot of control over those things for their entire lives. Not to mention that we're the generation that embraced the easier tech as a whole. Kinda wild to blame the kids that are literally products of us and our actions.
