    I would call them niave zoomers.

    Niave means you haven’t been taught something. This is the world they were born into. They cannot understand a world without the internet, nor cell phones.

    Stupid is when you’re taught something, and you cannot grasp it.

    Very few young people seek out concepts they don’t understand, and even fewer seek out concepts they don’t know if it exists.

      They’ve been taught. The information is all there.

        Information being out there, and them having seen it aren’t the same thing. Who taught all the zoomers these things? Did you know that the reason most fast food besides McDonalds has Pepsi and not Coke is because at various times in history Pepsi would buy different fast food businesses, before making them exclusively Pepsi, and selling the brand?

        That information is out there…but did you ever see it?

        Or what about the myth that Coca Cola the soft drink DIDN’T originally contain cocaine, and also didn’t start off as what we think of as a soft drink. It started off as an unregulated medicine for indigestion, with extracts from the Coca plant. But at no time did a carbonated cola with cocaine ever get sold to the public.

        That information is out there too.

          They’re on the internet all day, with memes everywhere. Understanding what a meme is, is as simple as looking down to find one’s shoelaces are untied.

            No. Yes. Maybe. Can neither confirm nor deny.
