Utterly ass-backwards. Young people can't use computers for shit, they're usually worse than Boomers. It's GenX and Millenials that actually know their ass from a hole in the ground.
That's the point of the post
I am not a smart man. :(
It's ok, as long as you know your ass from a hole in the ground.
The "young people disrupting industries" talking points were raised mostly in relationship to genx and millennials. People like Jeff Bezos, the "pay-pal mafia" people, Zuck, Karp, Silverman and Sharp, etc.
Yeah, it was the millennials who were “disrupting” industries and “killing” industries.
Yeah, generally the article titles were all "How Millennials are destroying the [x] industry," because they had the Internet available just before the corruption of hypercapitalism, and used it to inform their culture and decisions. The earlier days of google search where you could find good information that wasn't SEO poisoned. Whereas today "Internet = Phone = Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/TikTok" to the majority of people. Terrible day for the World Wide Web than the ad industry realized you can pay models and celebs to create FOMO for shit like Stanley Cups.
