Oh wow. learning to use the internet at age 40? nobody does that -they already knew. did you even know that the baby boomers and gen xers developed the internet (www to be specific)? that takes a lot more skill than typing in a search term in a browser.

Kids today are super smart about everything older generations are jealous. I met kids creating android apps for kids games and making money off it. Old people are buying diapers for themselves. It should be the other way around.

Yeah and they're also taking computer science courses in elementary school..... programs like that didnt even exist when I was there age. Kids today and I assume for the most part kids of the future in any generation are going to continuously develop faster.
