    We have gygabites of storage on our phones and on the cloud, it makes sense that zoomers don’t know what a zip file is. It’s like chastising me, an early millenial, because I don’t know Morse code.

      Ridiculous take. Zip is used not just for compression but also for bundeling files. If you’ve used the internet beyond social media you’ve probably encountered a zip file. It’s just incompetence regardless of age.

        Especially since even if you didn’t know about zip files at all for some reason, you could just look it up before declaring nothing works.
        The real incompetence isn’t what you don’t know, it’s the lack of problem solving

        But they don’t use the internet beyond social media. And chastising them for that is like getting mad at cows because they eat out of a manger.
