My last Xiaomi phone cost me 200USD and lasted over five years. Screen started intermittently not working and bought a new one.

I really doubt homeschooling has much to do with it. Some subset of every gen is good with tech.

The one homeschool kid Im working with this semester is terrified to use the telephone. Their entire experience in home school education was largely sitting in virtual classrooms

Its definitely not all students and, in reality, I believe every generation has been deskilled to diff degrees. So, while these skills are noticeably worse with Gen z than it is with millennials, many young people I meet come to college with some or all of these skills.

So I think you could go with a less extreme intervention lol

Teaching college students, I agree that phones and 'need' are largely the culprit.

Loss of typing skill, trouble shooting skill, and file directory skill.

Better at cameras generally

Shooting God in face is also the moral of Star Trek V.

armies of extremists are brigading other instances and they're exploiting Lemmy's flaws to do it

It crazy how these people can get their bs to show up in my main feed, and then if I comment on it they call me a troll
