I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.
What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?
you won’t get a job if you don’t know the tools.
Here. I made it into meme Format so you understand it.
what do you think is important enough to be a general school subject, if not computer literacy?
English. Math. Whatever your Primary Language is. Chemistry, Physics and all other subjects that are already in every school curriculum.
School is not there to feed you everything you need to know for every possible Job.
Technological literacy might be a Subject worth talking about. But that does not have Excel and Word in it.
How do i find Information. How do i fact check information.
Not “how do i use Access and Excel to create a Form for filling out my Taxreport”
That is elitist circlejerk shit that only people in tech jobs say.
“Hurr durr that highschooler doesn’t know how a master slave drive configuration works, nobody is computer literate anymore”
mate I get what you’re saying, but doing simple calculations using functions in a spreadsheet is helpful in everyday life, it’s really unfair to compare it to welding
Chemistry and physics are more useful than spreadsheets and basic computer literacy? I feel like at this point you’ve just dug yourself in too deep and can’t just admit you said something stupid.
I say this as someone who deals with physics in their career: to suggest it’s a more useful thing to teach all students (including the vast majority that will never use physics in their careers or ever again in their lives) than basic computer literacy is just patently absurd. Just on its face stupid.
You’re calling people elitist for suggesting kids should be taught basic computer literacy in school, then trying to flex about the super impressive networking job you have. This whole thing is so strange.
Also that meme is cringe as fuck like for real. Are you upset that you don’t know how Excel works or something? Just trying to figure out where this is coming from. You know there’s always still time to learn.
