A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's happening a lot, and I see a lot of boomers using the "haw haw kids stupid" behind it, but it's not them, it's the parents fault, and it's really sad honestly.
I learned typing in 6th grade, we had computer classes where we learned Microsoft and Mac, we learned how to do word and excel. A lot of that got me ready for office life.
Now parents and schools just expect that it's easy, but as we're seeing they may pick it up faster, but unless they have a need to learn it they won't. I feel empathy for these kids who are going to be entering the workforce who were failed.
