PC's for millenials (and Gen Z somewhat) is the same thing as cars to boomers

  How do they haul groceries home from the store with their PC? 🤔

    Online shopping and delivery

      Oof. Changed from “going to work” to groceries to prevent the facetious “work from home” response, and clearly didn’t think deep enough about shopping. 🤣

      I started getting home delivery groceries during the pandemic and simply never stopped.

  Which goes to show you the economic divide.

  PCs are a fraction of the cost, little wear and tear, no maintenance cost, no insurance nor storage costs, and no need to be licensed.

  I honestly think it’s just that we are more poor than the boomers.

  Gen Z are into social media most, it’s cause it’s cheaper than buying electronics and building PCs, all you need is 1 smart phone.

  I bet gen alpha would be into minimalism given the trend.

  Unfortunately PCs don’t have very big back seats…🙄

    With the size of GPUs these days, yes they do.

    Yeah, but you can’t connect a second controller in a car :)

    but the PCs probably also see way more action…

    Millennials prefer to bone down to pound town in the ruins of the industries they’ve unmade.

  I’ve thought the same!

  My dad can fix my car, but I can’t. I can fix my computer, but my kids can’t.

  Someone else mentioned content creation may be the kids specialty. Recording, editing, marketing etc. i think that’s a really good guess, it’s pretty much the only thing my kids are into that I don’t really “get”.

  Another option is AI. They’ll figure out how to chat gpt anything they want while us old folks are grumbling about how it’ll destroy the world.

  My 22 year old 1.8T 5MT Jetta is great at hauling around computer components

  What is Gen Z and below going to have weird hobbyist communities for?

    At this rate, scavenging and cobbling together essential items out of trash.

    Being a content creator.

  IDK, I’ve always been more about the software/OS. Don’t really care about the hardware as long as it does the tasks I give it.

  I salvaged my PC case from an abandoned meat packaging plant converted into a temporary police search and seizure back in the Bush Jr years that would rent space out for Airsoft. They just let us have access to that abandoned plant, and Lord Jesus were there biohazards.

  Still, it’s a good case.
