  • Hey remember when computers become essential to day to day life and schools started making it part of their curriculum? Yeah me neither.

    For gen x and millennials, they got those skills for free cause their toys incentivized them. As in we got that for free.

    It was never guaranteed for that to keep being true. And giving you basic knowledge for the world is usually what schools should do but they never did cause there is money to be made with dumbed down tools.



  • The difference is that you don’t need to be car savvy not to get into an accident. But you do need to be tech savvy not to be at risk of cyberthreats.

    Drivers truly don’t need to know how a car works, software is not like that.

    Also, you can get by without a car, whereas most people need at least an email address.

    Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes. Do people think that you need to know about how engines work to drive a car. Or do people don’t think you need to understand file structure to manage excel files?
