I'd without a doubt donate to this fantastic blog! I suppose for now I'll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will talk about this website with my Facebook group. Talk soon! It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d without a doubt donate to this fantastic blog!

I am recently out of college and the claims above are consistent with what I've seen. I wouldn't say blogs and RSS aren't a big deal to kids; rather, young people, and most people for that matter, do not give a shit about "blogs" per se. They might read a popular website that happens to be in blog format (e.g., Perez Hilton, which gets millions of views a day and uses Wordpress), but the fact that it is running Wordpress means nothing to them. They have no interest in self-congratulatory navelgazing meta-analysis of "the blogosphere," in other words. And they definitely don't care about RSS, or even online reader apps that conceal the fact that they're consuming feeds. At least, that's my experience. “their computers are finally good enough that they don’t have to be magicians to make them work”

For them, computers are like cars - tools you use, you vaguely understand you have to maintain, useful things whose internal workings would be mysterious *if there was any reason at all to think about them*. These kids are the realization of what those of us in the industry who, y'know, care about users have always said we wanted - they're Normal People who can Use Computers. They don't need to 'get better' at computers; their computers are finally good enough that they don't have to be magicians to make them work. This is a good thing; this is what the future of computers is; this is what we WANT if we want there to continue to be work in our field. Calling them Tech-Impaired and sneering at them is the same as your mechanic sneering at you because you aren't up to speed on OBD3 diagnostics, your plumber chuckling when he comes to unclog your toilet after your three-year-old flushes his 5th roll of toilet paper this afternoon. Danno – these kids are not Tech-Impaired – they are Tech-Oblivious.

People that *say* they know how to use computers, but are little more competent than your grandmother and don't particularly care to get better because they're not impatient enough to get things to work *for* them.
