Gen Z is not the same thing as Gen Alpha. Gen Z grew up on PC.
“How do I rotate this PDF? I need to print it.”
“Uh, you can just set it to print in landscape mode.”
(Scornful stare, for using space age words) “NO! I must ROTATE the PDF!”
I’m sure I had a conversation like this with one of the acquaintances of my dad
what does rotating a pdf even mean? like rotating all the pages from portrait → landscape and vice-versa, or something else? could i rotate a pdf 60°?
It only relatively recently occurred to me that the vast majority of people use the Internet either solely or mostly with a mobile phone. It blew my mind since I grew up with PCs and modems and the Internet is so much better on a large screen that’s not half full of ads.
How the fuck do you rotate a pdf
Are they the same generation whose parents said “they’re really good with computers …they go on the iPad all the time”?
WhAt’S a CoMpUtEr?
An IPad is a computer with a touchscreen interface instead of mouse and keyboard
Thanks for reminding me, now I’m angry.
Glad I could brighten up your day!
If only we knew at the time how prophetic that damn commercial would be…

I remember watching an interview with the CEO of SUN microsystems in the 90’s argue that you didn’t need to know how to run a nuclear power plant to use a light switch, and you shouldn’t have to know how a computer works to use one.
I guess his vision came true, and we’re mad about it?
My gen z son is like a computer wizard to me a fairly proficient millennial so I don’t think it’s a generational thing
Is there some magic to rotating a PDF? I just opened one and there’s a button in Firefox saying “Rotate clockwise” and “Rotate anticlockwise”. Are we talking something rotating and then saving the PDF so it stays rotated or just rotating it after it’s already loaded? Or is this about rotating the PDF so it can be printed out?
As a boomer, reading this thread/discussion has been so amusing in many ways while enjoying my cuppa tea this morning. A classic “the younger generations are stupid.”
The older generations looking down the ones that follow. And the following generations looking down on those that precede them. And no one understanding ain’t none of us are all that bright.
Ever has it been, and so ever shall it be.
I would be happy to never see a PDF again, can we not have something better?
I always think it’s like complaining that nobody under a certain age can use the card catalog, microfiche or whatever. Technology changes. I have so many leftover now useless skills; please God may the ones related to Adobe rot on that same pile soon.

True story but as a millennial teaching another millennial in college.
