No offense but you sound SO old lol. Tiktok isn't just full of 12 year old's and hasn't been since, well, probably since covid started. With what a shit show standard search engines are these days I don't blame them for searching what they know. There's plenty of good info on tiktok that's being presented by people that know their craft. The short format is nice too because it keeps them from telling their whole life story before they show me what I need to know.
The fact that you're just basing your whole opinion here on an article kinda says it all really. I would have hoped my generation would outgrow this boomer bullshit but here we are.
Y'all are so worried about using things like Google pay but it's going to become a standard whether you like it or not. It's just another way to pay for shit and banks reimburse scammy bullshit just like they do if your card info gets stolen.
Nah, the article was something I went searching for after the fact. I guess "old" is in the eye of the beholder. My 8 year old thinks I'm old.
Just your bog standard Millennial here though. Started out with no tech growing up, and basically grew up along side and with the modern era of technology.
As for search engines, I agree, that's why I use a selfhosted SearXNG instance. It's not shoved down your throat google ads (much more akin to what google was 5 years ago or older), but TikTok surely isn't the answer for "specialists in their field", just like I wouldn't have used Vine to source specialist knowledge before that. The problem with the format is there is to much "jumping to the end" without understanding why. You literally cannot get into the "why" in short video format, it's a bit like "and now your draw the rest of the owl".
I actually feel like some of the youngest generations while "perceived" to be technical because they grew up with tech actually lack much of the deeper understanding of how that same technology works. This is gonna sound very much "in my day we had to walk uphill both ways" kinda thing, but we did actually have to struggle with technology growing up. If you wanted it to work, you had to frequently do it yourself, and figure out why something wasn't working with out reddit or online forums sourcing thousands of technical people. I use those skills to this day and it's a skill I try and mentor into new hires at work.
I recall once early in my career, I caught a co-worker attempting to perform a change on a server for a Fortune 500 financial company using instructions on a webpage that looked like it was from a 1990's Geocities website (this was probably 2012, so not sure where he even found it!). I slammed his workstation closed so fast and walked him into a conference room. Being "old" doesn't mean out of touch, but it does often mean wiser.
Edit: Also, not sure where you got that I'm against google pay, venmo, paypal, square, amazon pay or any of those apps, I have them all installed on my phone. What I AM saying is that those apps are at risk to people who root their phones and install applications from sketchy sources. My point about kids using their phones at vending machines was to prove they are probably MORE at risk because they don't understand the hows or whys to what they did when they rooted their phone and installed Minecraft (or any game!) from a sketchy crack page.
If any of the younger gens have a lack of understanding in tech then it's on us. It's on the older gens. We failed to guide them and push for the kind of education that they needed. Millennials, older millennials especially, were kind of privileged in this regard because we grew with the tech. We HAD to figure it out or just not interact with it. It's not like we're just built different or anything we just had different opportunities to learn. I don't see how "watching a 30 second video by a 12 year old on tiktok" is realistically different from watching the video by a 12 year old typing in a notepad on YouTube that I used the first time I rooted a phone.
I swear every single generation makes things easier for the next and then immediately complains about "kids these days" and their lack of struggles
You may have missed where I specifically said I mentor new hires for those skills.
