  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."
