This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Gen Z at uni here. Most of my fellow zoomers know what a zip file is. But some people just don't computer that much so they simply don't know.
However if you're doing a computer job and you don't know that's ridiculous.
Someone doing one of those computer jobs here. In the office i work we are 13 people. six zoomers, five boomers and two millennials. 12 out of these 13 people struggle to understand basic computer things such as archives even when I explane them. the same for family and some friends. I live and work germany. From my small sample i'd read its not a zoomer or boomer thing in germany at least.
It is a missed duty of politics to bring the country into tune with this. For example the "IT class" back in school was teached from people who had to google the stuff they had to teach... if the'd knew how to google. I had to listen to many calls mid lesson where the teacher had to ask other people how stuffs done. And just as germany has failed to do this, there are isolated groups or bubbles all over the world that simply do not want or are able to learn it. and that's just spreading slowly since there is no need to learn on most systems anymore.
But that is just an observation of me with like I said just a smal sample in my close area. I could totaly be wrong.
