oh my god….there are people alive in this day and age who don’t know how to torrent movies
a friend the other day was like….”oh i really want to watch this movie but i cant find it anywhere on netflix or online” and i said “oh you can just torrent it” and she gave me the blankest look…and then i said “you know…piratebay? kickasstorrents?” and she just frowned at me…what’s happening to this generation
Guys it’s so much worse than that.
A couple years ago an instructor at my college who taught basic programming courses for game design majors posted on his facebook that a bunch of his incoming freshmen didn’t know how to create a zip file.
A lot of public schools dropped their computer literacy courses in the early 2000s because they just assumed kids would “learn it at home.” There’s a whole generation of kids who only know how to navigate a touchscreen phone/tablet. They’ve never used a laptop or desktop.
I saved the facebook post and discussion thread – you can read it here: http://lierdumoa.tumblr.com/post/162986545597/image-is-a-screen-capture-of-a-facebook-post
I teach a college English class and not a semester goes by where I don’t have to teach a student how to use the Tab key to indent a new paragraph, because some of them literally have no pragmatic computer experience.
pirate bay and kickass torrents are long gone….. like ofc kids dont know about them…
they’re….they’re still there. kickasstorrents and pirate bay are still there and still kickin like crazy….in 2019….i think people not knowing about them has to do more with the rise of streaming services like netflix n hulu n shit
But its illegal?????????
this is actually the funniest objection i’ve seen so far. what are you? a cop? you love the law? you love paying 15 dollars for albums made by artists who eat lamborghinis and diamonds and will make more money in a year than you ever will in your life? it’s okay. fuck the law.
