Possible age rewind?

^ The general public born before the 80s isn’t very computer/net literate. Except the hardcore geeks. Get over yourself, a bunch of old computer-savvy people like Gates and Jobs designed and marketed today’s world of personal/mobile computing.

If you’re 30-35, you grew up with at least a video game system in your living room or bedroom, or the bulky white family computer. In your 20s, you grew up with your own desktop/laptop, Internet access. Teenager or younger, mobile devices. Going forward, computer coding will be taught in elementary school. (Edit: actually at the school I work at, they teach Lego NXT programming language to kids born after 2005.)

Insurance and car commercials are targeting the middle-aged with video game references and NES chiptunes. That would’ve annoyed adults from a decade ago who weren’t born and raised surrounded by consumer electronics.

Computer literacy is growing and is a lot easier to access. It’ll be something else that will separate current generations from future gens. Like bionics or something crazy. But everybody’s going to be net-savvy or computer literate from here on out.

Years from now, we’re going to have the first generation of net-savvy old people. That’s going to be really obnoxious.

It’s cute that you believe understanding the net today will allow you to be savvy with it in 30-40 years.

If old people from the 60s can’t understand how the net works in the 2010s, old people from the 90s won’t understand how the net has changed in 2040.

They’ll still be using facebook and twitter on their iPhone 5s.

Facebook about to be the biggest neighborhood watch program

What’s cute is your lame attempt at condescension. Safe bet, people are going to be able to blog and bitch about young people on social media in the decades to come.

Look at how much television and radio have changed over the years. I wonder what you expect the internet to be like as the years go by.
