And yet, I've noticed that people who grew up with computers as opposed to computer-free life tend to radiate higher intelligence.
Eh, I think that's just due to selection bias. We're at a point where computers are such an integral part of life that the only people who do not know how to operate them are people who chose not to keep up with the times.
I have plenty of older patients who did not grow up with computers, but learned how to operate them later in life because they recognized their importance. They tend to retain much better cognitive function later in life than those who checked out of having new experiences a long time ago.
On the opposite side, I have plenty of younger patients who grew up with computers and are definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I think there is a drastic difference between what computer counted in the 90s-00s vs now. It was not user friendly, everything was advanced, troubleshooting was engineering, etc., you didn't just push a power button, launch a browser and go to youtube
Eh, it wasn't that much different than now. Tbh in some ways it was a bit easier, just because there wasn't as much going on. Really everything windows 95 and after were relatively similar to what most people are using today.
Even before YouTube there were plenty of forums available that would walk you through most any troubleshooting.
Right, but we had forums, we constantly troubleshooted things, we did alot of reading, etc., nowadays average person spends most of that time consuming media, which was borderline a luxury back then.
I think that depends on the user. In my experience typically one person in the house was computer literate and spent most of their time fixing the damage caused by the mindless surfing of the rest of the household.
