The smart phone generation seem to have lower computer literacy than millennials largely due to smart phones hiding away a lot of the workings. In the UK age verification for adult sites came into force yesterday and like everywhere streaming services are getting very enshittified. This is going to lead kids to discovering tor, VPNs, pirating, how to make deep fakes (to fool ai based age verification), and other ways of getting what they want without restrictions.

    Your argument hinges on your personal impression:

    The smart phone generation seem to have lower computer literacy than millennials

    Please show us

    • what “computer literacy” means
    • what “the smartphone generation” is and
    • that, whichever age bracket that is, they do have lower computer literacy
      • than millenials
      • overall (lower than preceding generations)

    I know, this is just c/showerthougths, but an argument cannot be based on a faulty premise.

    edit: yay, downvoting! whoever did doesn’t even know if I agree or disagree with OP’s conclusion.
