There’s no need to call OP lazy, but I do agree that this is not necessarily ADHD. This is a human thing. It’s easy to put the mind at ease saying you will do something later. Then when you are confronted with the present, and have to do it, it all the sudden feels more difficult. Thinking is easy, doing is harder.
Did you even read the post you’re responding to?

Groundbreaking.
I agree with you. I think the problem is localization. If all buttons are text they’re going to need translation and word length will vary. It’s doable, yes. But a series of icons takes up less space and should ideally communicate universally…it’s a little better if done right. If Photoshop was a bunch of words I’d be pissed off.
Also, I thought Ratchet and Clank ran at a solid 60fps.
And the word ‘aesthetic’ … please add that to the list.
“Oh no! My blue check!!” It’s not real and it’s not a display of power like he thinks.
During class. You made up “study time”. No one cares if your on your phone studying during “study time” in the library. But if someone is lecturing you shouldn’t be on your phone or have earbuds in.
Wrong. Get off the phone.
Did you just say everything is moving away from computers? Dunce.
But you said your job should teach you.
I’m saying that your not going to find a job that teaches you unless it is an apprenticeship (which is not a common thing outside of trades anyways)
So what is your argument then? “Not everyone needs to know Thermodynamics”. Maybe that’s why that is an advanced class in highschool. Do you just not like people getting a general, well-rounded education?
It looks like an English teacher never taught you how a paragraph is formatted, Mr. I-make-a-new-line-after-each-sentence.
College is school. Early education teaches you skills to be a competent adult …and so we don’t have a population of mouth breathers.
I hate to burst your bubble but you have to go to trade school to learn the basics of welding, then you can grab an apprenticeship to learn how to do it professionally.
Your are very ignorant of how professional work is conducted. Companies want to higher people that know how to do their job and have years of experience doing it. Some places do have entry level or junior positions where some training is expected. But in general, you will be hired for the skills you have (not because you have ‘potential’ and they would love to spend months teaching you).
For welding and electric work, that is often learned through an apprenticeship, which aren’t easy to land either. That’s how a lot of trades work. But most jobs do not just offer apprenticeships or ‘free teaching’.
Also, have you ever heard of Trade School?
EDIT: If your argument was true I would just ask to be a brain surgeon and have the surgeons explain it to me.
Yes. You’re kinda the asshole. Do you only go to weddings because you are witnessing an official state sanction civil ritual? A wedding is a party to celebrate a couple getting married. Who cares about the details? Enjoy your extended family.
That’s a large generalization. Computers were not present in early schooling for boomers. It’s important to take in account when leaps in technology occured for certain generations. Computers just get faster and smaller now. It will be a bit before we see another paradigm shift similar to what occurred in the mid 90s when home computing became a norm.
With that said, I have heard of computer literacy dropping in youth despite ubibiquitous usage of social media on phones --which obviously doesn’t teach you much about how computers actually work. I’m not sure what exactly to contributes to that besides that maybe we are living in a post PC world (at least outside of working professionals in the tech industry). I work in game dev with a good amount of engineers under the age of 25 that could easily school me on low level computing architecture.
It’s complex.
To sum up my opinion, I don’t think age as a factor alone can be used to correlate computer literacy. We are products of our environment.
I didn’t know that site was still around. That was my reddit before reddit.
