Will we be modern tech illiterate when we get old like our grand fathers?

doesn't take that long. still don't care much about smartphones

Maybe you will. There are pretty of tech-literate grandparents. I met my CPO's uncle the other that and he was very on top of it.

Personally, I don't think I'll ever be behind the times technologically.

>implying smartphone & social apps users aren't tech illiterate

I am 28 and I am already starting to get scared because I have no friends and things happened that I have never heard about.

Yes. Look at how Cniles are completely clueless of anything post-2005.

Probably not nearly as much because the principles of tech won't change as drastically as it did for them and that will make it much easier for us to pick up new tech.

Depends on what you think tech-literacy means. There's so many different domains under the blanket of technology that having more than just a basic understanding of all of them is something so daunting that even most people in the tech industry wouldn't qualify, if that were your metric.
Personally I don't think tech literacy is so much about what you already know and is more about how easily you can pick up what you need to know to interact with the most common tech in your life. Which in that case, everyone here will one day stop being tech-literate, just because biology will at some point rob us of our youthful brains and teaching us old dogs new tricks will eventually stop being worth the effort.

You faggot zoomers are already worst off than my boomer father. Millennial's are also shit.

t.GenX

No, poeple younger then me don't understand computers

Lol that is so me

begone frank

Technology is getting increasingly more powerful and easier to use. We can easy learn how to use zoomer technology, but not so fast the other way around.

Do the IT boomers who grew up with Commodores became tech illiterate? No, they are actually on the top of their own companies, or making gadgets for their old hardware with raspberries and another similar stuff.

TL, DR: Technology is becoming easier to use and not the other way around, you will be able to get used to any future change.

To zoomers there's no such thing as gen-x or millenial, for them any non-zoomer is a "boomer".

But what if you keep refusing to use newer hardware and software due to it being "botnet"/"pozzed"/whatever?

I'm 38 years old, and I do indeed find I have proportionally less interest in learning every new programming language that comes along like I tried to do in my early 20s. I guess I'd call it perspective - after a while you come to realise it's all the same shit and look for the principles that last.

In uni I'd wonder about professors who knew a great deal of theory but hardly knew how to operate their email client, and I think I may well end up being like this.

>not being able to initialize the hypercube quantum computer and run your materialized light form waifu
gramps, please

No one thinks it will happen to them. It will.

Again, the software will be easier to use, you can figure out how to work with it in a matter of minutes.

this. people always confuse this. Knowing how to use simple applications has nothing to do with knowing how something works. Hardly anyone of the young smartphone users cares about the technology behind it

24 yo here i can't into smartphones, never seen a need for owning one

Why they are faggots and always will be!

How is the turtle not drowning?

I don't think so. Tech was hard in the beginning since everything was made by and for specialists. The specialists were replaced with an industry making normalfag friendly things; hit button, receive bacon. It will stay like that for some generations.
