I was always fascinated by the Middle Ages… The idea that you could live in the ruins of a civilization more advanced than your own is really interesting.
I’m responding to the premise of the thread. I agree it doesn’t make sense to characterise people based on age brackets, however I am noting a pattern I’ve observed in reality, not speculating a fictional scenario. It’s also true my view is anecdotal, backed up by memes and other anecdotes and not by science or extensive research.
However I’d like to point out that we are in a group called “memes” and the thread is about “used to consume not produce”, the OP’s meme image is specifically talking about the pattern where younger people don’t understand fundamentals of tech and just consume it. As an IT professional of nearly 20 years I have observed the same phenomenon and so I wrote a funny reply based on that.
You’re right IT probably won’t entirely evaporate that’s crazy. As crazy as picking apart a funny comment to wag your finger at a well meaning stranger.
It’s gonna be really funny when all us millenials die and the tech infrastructure evaporates.
What age do we think they’ll be set back to? Pre industrial? Bronze?
My prediction seems extreme but don’t forget that while books continue to exist, the average adult born after 2000 would rather die than read one.

It won’t evaporate, there are plenty of IT folks among youth.
It doesn’t make sense to characterize users by age brackets - it’s not that millenials are predominantly well-versed.

Ah, I have mistaken it for genuine statement. I have well intentions, too :)
