I wonder: Has this happened with anything else?
Where an older generation struggled to understand at all, a middle generation adapted to it early enough to witness all of the quirks, and then a later generation was born into an already-smoothed out system — and they all lived simultaneously?
Seems like a uniquely modern thing, but then again agriculture and clothing and currency have all had periods of rapid change in the past.
Like were there Generation F dudes out there like “omg we’re the only ones who understand knitting frames smh”?
How many people you know could explain to you what happens when you turn on the light?
An electrical current runs through a thin wire with an extremely high melting point in a vacuum, safely using resistance to turn electric potential into heat and light. Do kids these days not know that?
LEDs kinda ruin the simplicity. Current runs into a chunk of Gallium Nitride and mumble mumble quantum mumble mumble bandgap and light comes out!
TL/CCFL kind of ruined that simplicity already.
