At 8:32 PM, the user searches "how to get a dragon scimitar mouse cursor" which shows a normal cursor. 11 minutes later at 8:43 PM, the user searches "how to get rid of a computer virus", now with a dragon scimitar cursor.

Full sentences have been a sign of lack of computer literacy.

Like you, I wonder if that’s changing.

I’ll note I might be more likely to use a full sentence when I’m making a voice assistant look something up, but even still I’ll probably phrase it minimally first before speaking.

Edit: looking at my image, does ruin the meme.
