I’m curious, and have heard things about the younger generations, Gen Zs and especially Gen Alphas, not receiving as much education or lessons on how to use computers (as in desktop/PCs or laptops) beyond the basics, or internet safety and etiquette. No idea if this is true or not. So poll time!!

In this, I’m asking about if you received, or are receiving, actual, official lessons/classes on both internet safety/etiquette and how to use computers beyond the bare basics. For example, in school my class had dedicated lessons for both of these, that included signing up to educational sites that mimicked social media so we could learn how to navigate them in a monitored environment.

And to avoid any confusion, the generation categories are:

[poll] did you have computer/internet lessons?

Gen X (or older), yes

Gen X (or older), no

Millennial, yes

Millennial, no

Gen Z, yes

Gen Z, no

Gen Alpha, yes

Gen Alpha, no

other / complicated / elaborated in tags
