They're the ones who are dying. Gen Z grew up on the cloud
- agsgf 15d agoAnd they hate the Internet more than Gen-X.
- owebmaster 15d ago> Gen Z grew up on the cloud That's why many are tech illiterates and don't know what folders and files are.
- tancop 15d agoI would say that's a rich country and gen alpha thing. People who had to download games from a pirate site on the family computer know what a folder is.
- customguy 15d agoWhat does "the cloud" have to do with anything in this context? That is so utterly orthogonal to how good a UI/UX is.
- amoss 15d agoCloud services expose their UI/UX through a web-browser will all of the pain points of running a stateful blob of javascript on the client, talking through a mostly stateless protocol to a "mess of stuff" that aims for eventual consistency in the backend. The old folks, who are retired and dying according to this thread, mostly grew up using local applications with direct control between UI/UX and action.
- oblio 15d agoUmmm... GenZ have mostly grown with mobile apps, which are generally not JS.
