   I feel like gen z doesn’t even know how to run emulators or torrent roms.

   It’s worse than that, my friend. They can’t even conceptualize what an emulator is. They cannot differentiate between an emulator program and a game rom. To them, the emulator is itself the game to be run.

     Or setting up wifi…

     Also a black box to zoombies. To many of them, wifi is internet, rather than just a connectivity medium.

     “My kid is a computer wizard” - never seen the inside of a PC and can’t type with a physical keyboard and has never logged into a router.

     You know how they do it now? I didn’t even realize this until I had the misfortune of watching a zoomie “setup” a “router”. The “router” instruction manual instructs them to install an app on their phone through which the “router” is managed. No option to login to a web interface or SSH is ever provided.
