To be fair, I don't actually know how to rotate a pdf. I re-learn it every few years, then immediately forget it again.

Pdfsam. At least that was the best way when I last needed to rotate a PDF about 500 years ago.

Goomers and hoomers and foomers and schroomers are all alike and your generation is smarter.
I am gen z and know how to use a computer
Most of us should have been taught how to use computers in school then we expand our knowledge from there on our own
Is this an american only problem?
I'm not American. I'm also Gen z, but the older parts are typically better at computers.

I thought they would be wiz kids...
Me too. They were born with phones in their hands, right? Understanding technology should be like breathing to them! But it turns out they started using it after corporations had locked it down and simplified it, so they only know how to use apps, not how any of it actually works.

They know how to use technology but they have no idea how it works or what to do if it breaks.

Gen X checking in here. I’m actually happy to be left out of the memes. Carry on.

I felt like an idiot the other day. Customer sent in a pdf with confidential information. I needed to upload the document without the confidential information but only have the free Adobe. I normally redact the information in paint but paint wouldn't accept the file format.
I ended up asking a gen x teammate and she instantly told me to use the snipping tool which solved my problem. Thank you Gen X coworkers
As a dev, the divide between apps users and computer software users is fascinating. My mom can do things in instagram or whatsapp that I didn't even know possible.. but put her in front of a modern computer with a simple application and she's completely lost! I try to explain that it's exactly the same as her phone its just a larger screen/physical keybaord with different apps, doesn't seem to help.
Yes you are a monolith block when born in a certain age group.
Nothing wrong with that statement apparently.
Divide and conquer.
Helped a Zoomer coworker build a PC for gaming and was then shocked watching him try to navigate Windows and being confused on basic things. Then I realized that, yeah, he probably never really used a desktop for much unlike us Millennials who grew up sitting at desks. He’s doing much better a couple years later so they are definitely able to adapt though!
