![Nigger speech, but it's true. Most late teens - early 20s zoomers have little better computer skill than an average boomer, even though they grew up attached to the screen. [1200x468 - 114KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/2O5PfE.png){kind=link}
My millennial generation is the generation that fooled demographers into thinking kids who grew up around computers would be good with technology.
It comes from a couple things. Nowadays if you want to customize a social media profile, you just click on setting and tick a few boxes.
But if this was 2004 and I wanted to customize my MySpace profile, I could, and I had to, because I wanted cute big-tiddy goths to think I was edgy and badass, but I had to learn and write some basic HTML and CSS to do so.
That and modding/using mods in video games. Nowadays it is simple with Steam, just a few clicks. But back in the day, if I wanted to install a mod on the original Diablo that turned all the demons into cows, that shit took work, and it never worked on the first try, so you had to accidentally learn something about file systems along the way.
Now, because my MySpace profile was so edgy and cool, I got a big-tiddy goth gf, and didn't have to learn anymore computer shit.
But some people, like @Morbo, never got a big-tiddy goth gf, so they had to keep learning about computer. And that is why Millennials are the best generation ever when it comes to understanding computers.
You had me agreeing right up to the end. Xers that grew up with a TRS-80 or C-64 know life before a desktop, some of us had experience with punch-cards too. Overall most of our generation didn't grow up with this level of compute, but we did grow up with computer labs running Mac II-e's and original IBM systems running DOS, so though Xers are more a quiet group, they by-in-large rule the IT realm now, hands down.
But yeah blah blah... generational identity is a kike tool to divide us. So I digress.

Oh Theo, that's such a tragic and sad thing you went through. Having to learn some basic HTML and CSS that you could copy and paste into MySpace so you could try to impress goth girls must have been so difficult for you and your learning disabilities. Because you're "special" you felt the need to try so hard to make you profile and games special. You're such a brave and "special" snowflake.
Hmm, 2004. No need for me to have a big-tittied goth girlfriend since I had already been married to a large breasted good woman for 15 years at that time. She was most impressed that I had a career as an electrical engineer and software engineer that didn't involve trying to be edgy to goth tranny girls. But I do understand how difficult it was for you being so young and "special" as you are. Nothing's really changed for you though, except you write poetry now instead of being a computer poseur. Still you chase the tranny goths. Still you try to be edgy. But that's what makes you Theo.
