  Those Godforsaken codecs. Different one every video clip and it still glitched like hell.

  There was basically a bell curve to being tech literate by default while growing up. Too early and you would be unlikely to be exposed to it, too late and you're getting the very user friendly "tech for the masses" that will leave someone unable to use something like a command line interface unless they go out of their way to learn it.
  What will be really interesting though is if those of us in that bubble of higher than average tech literacy are able to stay with the times if tech evolves further than we can predict, as well as how the current generation younger than me who are very fluent in using tech, but tend to not have a clue how to troubleshoot and get "under the hood" so to speak fare with the same advances.
  We're talking averages though. There are smartphone zoomers that know more about advanced tech than I do, and there are people in that same age bubble I'm in that would go to google and type "Hi, I'd like to see a picture of a truck, thanks." in the search field (at absolute best), lol. >
  
  I cant help but giggle imagining someone typing in "hi, I'd like to see a picture of a truck, thanks." Into google. Borderline wholesome with that naivety. >
  
  My good chap, I wish to view portrayals of slightly overweight woman's posteriors. >
  
  Chubby girl pics online 20 years ago were as hard to find as depleted Uranium. And most of them were scanned from a magazine anyway. >
  
  The generation that came before us and the one that comes after are equally perplexed at our knowledge of "codecs", zip files, and "the limewires." >

  I actually saw this in a couple threads about the new Netflix account sharing limitation. A lot of people were asking about how to get into torrenting, and a lot of them couldn't understand it. Eventually the people trying to explain it just said don't try if they can't figure it out else they'll be loaded with viruses. >
  
  I have been using plex to create my own streaming service with my pirated content for 5 years now.
  I'm glad to see more people slowly getting into it lately >
  
  That's a funny thought! If you look closely, there are plenty of people out there who are tech-savvy enough to use torrents and enjoy the convenience it brings. We're sure that this generation will be able to appreciate it too in time! >
  
  Holy shit
  I resemble this comment, just the other day one of my coworkers looked at me like i had 3-heads when I showed him my automated PLEX setup. 
  I'm 33, he's mid 20s >
  
  You've probably noticed people from his generation barely know how to use a computer because they are archaic technology like VCR and rotary phones. 
  I barely use my phone because for me apps are wizard tech I barely know how to open. >
