My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

    The most common complaint I hear on most websites is “I have been here on this website since the first days, and now they redesigned the site and I can’t find the place to change my profile picture”, so you can already see signs of this.

    The reverse also applies too. I notice other Gen Z members often asking things like “how do I make a forum” when they clearly just made a forum thread (they’re called threads, not forums) to ask the question. It’s like the internet equivalent of “how do I get Green Mario”, “why can’t Metroid crawl”, “why does Zelda always have to save the princess”, and “what gives X-man his long nails”.

      To be fair, some companies seem to go out of their way when redesigning their software and websites to obfuscate basic features.

      Oh, you want to change your profile picture? Obviously you go to Settings > Privacy > Verify Account > Profile Picture! It’s just the most logical place to put it!
