    You just described several of my relatives of the younger generation . Just cuz a person was born in the technical era does not make them a technical genius.

        If that were the entire argument, yes. But I see you’re desperately dodging the ageism part of the discussion here. You are fooling no one.

          Lol no. I never said anything ageist and neither did you in your comment. You said, you know people who are tech illiterate as well and I said wouldnt that be a problem if their job was regulating technology? The point I was making was that someone uneducated and unfamiliar with current tech, shouldnt be making laws about it. You even suggested that they were of the “tech generation” or something like that, how is anything I said even remotely ageist at all? Also, “desperately dodging” lmao you kind of seem like an idiot.
