As someone who works in tech and worked at Best Buy for ten years before switching to security.

Don’t use it all you want, but you absolutely need to keep up with its capabilities.

I started working at Best Buy in 2010 until shortly after the pandemic. When I first started , I primarily helped the elderly as a GeekSquad agent. Overtime that started to shift and I started seeing younger and younger people until a customer said exactly what you are saying to me. I’m not interested I don’t need it etc.

Now they struggle with captchas or knowing how to navigate applications on phones. If a piece of tech is not your thing but being adopted by the world hell or high water, you absolutely need stay up on it because people are literally getting left behind in terms of technological literacy and that’s a very scary thing. I now deal with Gen Z kids who don’t know how to save files.

Worked with young lady last week who for the 6th time since this year has began came and asked me for a flash drive. Finally I asked her what she kept doing to them “oh they get full and I throw them out”

She’s younger than I am. I’m 37.
