Who is expecting them to understand cryptography?

Ah yes the people who ran their video games on DOS are being left behind.

Help son, how do I open this app?!? With my finger???

It hasn't been that hard in my experience. Ignore shifts in the social landscape until the yung'ins reach a consensus about it, and always remember that time just before the dotcom crash when a company got venture funding to deliver tuna subs by mail.

8th grade teacher got pissed at us on 9/11 because he thought we were laughing at the fact that a plane had hit the WTC. We were laughing because one of the girls didn't know what the WTC was. We turned on the TVs to see the second one get hit.

6th grade we had napster while some of us were still bringing in cases of floppies to play games that'd run on the computers

The elders had to rewind the movies after watching

I feel both cuddled and attacked

If only the pace of technology was the only paradigm shift to have to worry about since the 80s/90s

Goddamn I'm not that elder! But also true

Im still not convinced that crypto is worth it. It seems like just about everyone either loses money in crypto or makes very little, chasing a dream laid out to them by some youtuber who is part of the very small group to make any nice amount from it. Just seems too volatile and sketchy

Most of the kids I know who have this attitude would also call IT if they accidentally opened the Command Prompt or BIOS.

i remember standing in line for dvds. we were hacking regionlocked discs before nft was just a scammer's wet dream. we were moulded by early modern technology.

OK, this one kind of hurt a bit. I can't be the only one with a functioning VCR in the room with them right now...

But crypto is borderline useless that consumes more electricity than the entire AI industry while enabling alot of illegal activities and money laundering. I was quite susprised when my drug money found their way into normal people's lives.
