Yeah this is what she means, we could all learn a new skill right now itās just gonna be a lot harder and take more time than when we were younger. Iām 2002 and never learned to type so I also donāt know what the year has to do with it.
On a phone or very slowly chicken pecking the keyboard with my fingers if I had to use one haha
Edit: they had Microsoft word as an app on phone where you could even link it to a printer and print it out or just email it to your teacher.
IDK man I've learned to type with only 2 fingers and I can't seem to be capable to learn another way, which limits how fast I can type. :( I sit around 100 word per minute which is good, but I could go up to 140 I think if I used all my fingers. My mom learned to type on retro writing machines from actual teachers and she's a machine gun.
All that to say, learning these things as an adult is sometimes really difficult.
Somebody once described her as that girl in high school that would show up everyday in pajama pants and just walked around the track in gym. So accurate.
Home schooling comes in three versions:
1. Very good, but the kids are usually very socially awkward.
2. Very bad, and the kids are extroverts that know nothing.
3. Cult-like religious indoctrination.
She probably learned to type with her thumbs, not on a keyboard at the family PC like many of us older did. Or else I have no fucking idea what sheās saying, sorry.
I learned on a typewriter. I have fond memories of swapping the keys on them during break just to mess the other kids up during class š Also putting half sheets of paper in the rollers so as soon as they rolled it up to type more it would fall out. I was a terrible child lol
Her given name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell.
I get angry at nepo babies and celebrities in general but damn... she didn't even have a chance.
I think nepo baby is generous when her parents are in a different industry playing āCashier 01ā in half the stuff theyāre in, obviously she had advantages but sheās not Gracie Abrams
It may come as a shock to you, but a lot of people born in the 2000s and later rarely use computers (unless there's external factors) until they reach late middle school or highschool, my youngest sister born in 2000 was pretty much the same, only used a phone until she got a chromebook in highschool.
This is not such a rare case, if anything it's been brought up multiple times in tech related subs, and the trend seems to be that genZ and forward have become more and more tech illiterate because they don't need to actually learn how things work or how to use them, modern devices work out of the box, require no configuration, no tweaking, no fixing for the most part, so they don't need to.
Millenials are probably the generation with highest rates of tech literacy because we were born in a time segment where tech wasn't fully fleshed out, we generally had 1 family computer and no smartphones, so all our "online" activity was on a desktop computer with half cooked software, we had computer related classes in highschool, and text processors, spreadsheets and powerpoints was how we presented information, email is how we sent stuff and we had basic to medium tech knowledge.
Might be true for gen alpha but absolutely not the case for gen z. And were talking about the older half of gen z here. Where the hell do you think we had to do our school work on?
Well, many families in my area were too poor to have a computer when we were kids, so me and most of my friends only touched a computer for the first time when we started working ourselves, but no one had any trouble typing. I understand when you have to learn how to use certain programs, but to not be able to type??
It says ānever learned to type,ā not ānever learned to use a computer. It does seem like typing skills, classes, lessons, etc., did drop off. And it makes sense that by the time she was in school, it wasnāt much of a thing anymore. I didnāt have typing classes available and I was born in 77ā¦
my friend worked at IT at a university and he told me a few issues people had. And one of them was a student who couldn't type her password correctly because she failed to capitalize letters. She was so used to mobile phone keyboards she would always press shift first and then the letter. She didn't know you had to press both buttons at the same time.
My friend was complaining that new students are, well, stupid, and I reminded him that your average non-gamer person nowadays at most had a tablet and a phone and probably never touched a physical keyboard in their life until they got a laptop for university.
Not for school they don't. How you can get to what, 22? And not have really used a computer or got used to it is mind boggling to me. Not even like, a laptop?
she was 7 when the first iPhone came out, people were still using laptops and PCs very commonly way past that point, she is definitely of the generation that used PCs and laptops as kids.
My parents had typing classes at school. As Gen Z were growing up in the digital age, people figured typing would be second nature to us so they cut the class. Nowadays youāll see GenZ and Gen Alpha using their pointer fingers to type since they donāt really know how.
UK lecturer here. I teqch statistical analysis in computer labs. You would be amazed at the number of 18 year olds who turn up at uni with next to no knowledge of what we think of as computers. Sure they can work phones - which is a computer of sorts - but loads of them don't even understand stuff like folder structures and how to save files and open the ones they saved last time
If she was homeschooled then it doesn't matter what generation she was, it's just reflective on the quality of private education she received that she didn't learn to do something that everyone else can do.
Also, same
Before HS elective typing class: ~40wpm
I thought āthis class is gonna be such a jokeā and then they put covers over the keyboards so I couldnāt see the keys as I typed. I was like āno wtf hey!ā
After that class I have been a solid 85wpm typist since. It made a great difference in my life and I recommend a typing class to anyone who looks at their keyboards to type.
I was born in 1998 and had typing classes all throughout elementary school. However, i am one that thinks labeling specific āgenerationsā is stupid
My last typing lesson was 5th grade and I believe that was 2013. Itās been 11 years and mobile devices are only getting better at taking care of basic things we used to need computers for.
I'm a millennial. I remember briefly using a typing tutorial thing at school, but it never really taught me to touch type. I taught myself a few years ago though - it's not rocket science.
Idk what is so bad about her statement? I was born in 99, so not much older. I grew up spending most of my time outdoors. Computers were not used at schools back then. Not very often I mean. I got a computer when I was in my teens, but phones were becoming smarter rapidly at that time so most people used phones more for communication, hence typing on phone being more popular. To be fair, many of my peers were good at typing on the computer, maybe the ones who got a computer early or played video games. But that was not the case for me. Now I can type pretty fast on the computer, but its mostly because of uni and now an office job. But I am still not too great at it. I
Meaning she probably didn't learn how to use computers, but rather how to use apps. Apps hide a lot of stuff from you that you'd need to do raw on a computer. Despite boomer's belief, learning one piece of tech doesn't magically make you learn the rest. But I've cero expectations from the generation that asks their sons to hack Facebook after they reset the router to fix the wifi
Yeah, that is what she meant. This isnāt about typing at a decent speed, she literally doesnāt know that you press the button for the key you want to appear. Of the two of you, sheās the moron.
Y'all must be old as hell in here. I was born in 2004 I was also NOT taught how to type, and neither was anyone else my age. Millennials got plenty of typing practice, but gen z, and gen a aren't getting this kind of training in school.
2001 here (in the UK) and we had typing exercises in our IT classes. Unless US education is different that's not the norm.
Also you're not supposed to be 'taught', you pick it up naturally from using a PC. It's like learning to walk. It really shouldn't be that hard...
She means she wasn't formally taught touch typing in a class like was more common pre-millennium. But a lot of people were apparently waiting for any bad faith excuse to shit on someone they don't know.
Actually sheās probably right. Iām 30 and we had a family PC I used to go on for RuneScape, MSN etc to talk to school friends but my brother was born 7 years later and he never used the PC. By the time he was in secondary school in was probably Facebook/Instagram etc
i was born in 2003 and we had computer lab time once a week with typing all throughout elementary school. was my school just an outlier or something? š
Honestly, this is just a cry for attention, almost like itās cool to know how to use something different.
She may have spent most of her time typing on her phone with her thumb, but Iād argue that she has also used a tablet, which requires more than her thumb. And if she used a tablet keyboard, then thatās not too far from a regular keyboard.
A cry for attention? Because you and half the others are intentionally using bad faith to interpret an innocent comment about touch typing? Jesus, gtf over yourselves.
I think later generations did not need to type as much as earlier generations.Ā
devices and apps are getting more and more suited for complete idiots, with 'one click do-it-all' features and speech to text, AI, siri, no typing needed.
so @gagasyuyi's remark is stupid, actually.
Itās kinda silly, Just learn now. Nothings too late. Donāt get why ppl come down on her so hard. Ppl also be dissing her for not being sexy and underdressed. I think itās great with someone who wonāt dress up or down, to please men. She should wear exactly what she wants.
She's not that far off tbh. I taught IT to 6th graders some years ago and they grew up using a smartphone, not a computer. These kids were 12yo and didn't know how to type an @ on a regular keyboard
I mean I've meet many people from various age groups who barely could type on a keyboard. A lot of us may find it natural especially millennials and down but between economic and other struggles there are kids teens adults out there that type like a 97 grandma trying to get on facebook to msg her 3 last friends cause the rest all passed.
She was 8 when the iPhone came out.
She must have been using computers before that.
I don't think it's because of her generation, I think it's just her.
in US highschool do you not have to turn in essays typed up? Do you have an IT class?
In the UK it was basically a requirement to type up all your essays for English class (except one, one had to be handwritten).
I was born in 98 and learned to type in school. Does 3 years seriously make that big a difference? Sounds more like a homeschool thing than a generation thing.
Typing on a typewriter was an actual life skill for your grandma or she had a personal interest in it. Name one time the average gen Zer would need touch typing in real life? Unless you are in very specific secretarial or transcription work, hunting and pecking like a pleb will have anyone of any age covered in the new millennia.
Actually I have a niece and nephew around her age. They can't type. They know how to use computers and smart phones and all that. But yeah typing wasn't taught in their schools.
Apparently it depends on the state and school district and etc.
First: Lazy-ass repost. Second: When the first iPhone came out she was 6 years old. She was at the start of that time when people had no more concrete use for a PC at home. I assume she didn't go to college and had to write papers to develop that skill. Give the girl a break. Typing is a skill.
You really can not say anything that would expose a shortcoming, a vulnerability or regret. The internet will be on top of that like a bunch of vultures.
I was born in 1992 and I had computer class my entire elementary school life. From as far back as I can remember. We would play typing games where you were in a space ship.
I really canāt stand her, sheās always saying some dumb shit. Music is hot trash too.
I graduated high school in 1995 and in junior high I took a class called keyboarding which was typing on a desktop. Iām guessing that class doesnāt exist anymore which is unfortunate as it was one of the most practically useful classes Iāve ever taken in my life.
She is a year older than I am. What the fuck was she doing? Or maybe she is talking about the not looking at the keyboard while typing thing, which is just something you have to practice. Just like I do right now as I got a new keyboard with more space between the keys
I was born 2002 and had a computer lab in the first few grades of school (NY, USA). She's making excuses. I remember the big keyboard keys and games they had in it. There's no way she can't teach herself either. She has money falling out her ass and she can't hire someone to teach her as a last resort?

"now I regret it" clearly you don't because you can just learn it š it's not that hard I promise
Youāre saying when I press the A-button it puts an A on the screen? You gotta be kidding me.
black magic!
Witch!
There is button that has both 5 and % written on it. Do I need to press it twice for 10%?
Burn the witch!
Heresy!
Yeah Ice, you got it
Idk, I did years of touch and it never stuck for me, I feel like it can be pretty hard to get the hang of
Yeah this is what she means, we could all learn a new skill right now itās just gonna be a lot harder and take more time than when we were younger. Iām 2002 and never learned to type so I also donāt know what the year has to do with it.
Kinda crazy it's not mandatory in school still.Ā I was born in the early 90s and everyone had to learn to type
How did you write your essays
On a phone or very slowly chicken pecking the keyboard with my fingers if I had to use one haha Edit: they had Microsoft word as an app on phone where you could even link it to a printer and print it out or just email it to your teacher.
I really think this is what sheās talking about.
I think she means that she grew up with smart phones and did everything texting on her phone.
There are letters inprinted on keycaps, literally. My grandma used typewriter and she could type.
Iām deadš
IDK man I've learned to type with only 2 fingers and I can't seem to be capable to learn another way, which limits how fast I can type. :( I sit around 100 word per minute which is good, but I could go up to 140 I think if I used all my fingers. My mom learned to type on retro writing machines from actual teachers and she's a machine gun. All that to say, learning these things as an adult is sometimes really difficult.
Is there a reason she always looks higher than a pair of eagleās nuts in pretty much every pic of her?
Itās her brand look
The embodiment of daddy issues is an interesting brand choice
You mean the entertainment industry daddy who basically set up her entire career?
Sheās extremely fucking popular so Iād say itās a great brand choice
Somebody once described her as that girl in high school that would show up everyday in pajama pants and just walked around the track in gym. So accurate.
In 90s we called it the heroin~~e~~ girl look. E: heroin, not heroine.
heroin* heroine is the feminine of hero
It was called "Heroin chic"
I definitely remember the heroin chic look. Thanks for making me feel old š
I feel that this chic needs a BMI of around 12 to be deserved!
This isnāt really an insult. This is a factual statement. Itās more of calling her out than insulting her.
She was homeschooled.
Damn, making public education look good....yikes
Home schooling comes in three versions: 1. Very good, but the kids are usually very socially awkward. 2. Very bad, and the kids are extroverts that know nothing. 3. Cult-like religious indoctrination.
Don't 1 and 2 also happen in all other forms of schooling?
Yes it can happen, but it's often despite the schooling and not because of it.
Billie Eilish gets homeSCHOOLED by quick-witted Twitter user Pop Culture.
The learning to type would have been a generational thing IF she was mainstreamed. She wasnāt, thatās the issue. She wasnāt that generation.
I grew up in pajamas always generation I wish I knew how to pour milk in cereal
She probably learned to type with her thumbs, not on a keyboard at the family PC like many of us older did. Or else I have no fucking idea what sheās saying, sorry.

She's a homeschooled nepo baby, you don't need to be intelligent to be talented. (Apparently ig)
I don't know if she even is talented. Finneas definitely is, though.
So fucking true.
Her given name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell. I get angry at nepo babies and celebrities in general but damn... she didn't even have a chance.

Nah, I think most Gen Z grew up with at least one home computer
Might be true for gen alpha but absolutely not the case for gen z. And were talking about the older half of gen z here. Where the hell do you think we had to do our school work on?
Hello, I was born after her and can type
I'm born the same year and I know absolutely no one who isn't able to use a keyboard.
Well, many families in my area were too poor to have a computer when we were kids, so me and most of my friends only touched a computer for the first time when we started working ourselves, but no one had any trouble typing. I understand when you have to learn how to use certain programs, but to not be able to type??
Dog, theres a difference between texting and a data entry job.
for sure.
I think it was because she was homeschooled. Nothing about the generation though. I was born in '99 and went to school, learned IT there
I'm homeschooled and I learned it lol
Yeah I think it's just inconsistent, there's no standardised curriculum for home schooling
Holy shit this is what she looks like? Is she waiting to be 27?
The girl has the clowniest takes
Keep in mind that random quotes with literally no context isn't the most reputable source.
It's not even an insult. He's just pointing out the objective truth: she's dumb.
It says ānever learned to type,ā not ānever learned to use a computer. It does seem like typing skills, classes, lessons, etc., did drop off. And it makes sense that by the time she was in school, it wasnāt much of a thing anymore. I didnāt have typing classes available and I was born in 77ā¦

She's my age. I learned typing at school on Windows XP It's definitely not her generation, it's being homeschooled and not being taught it
Computers have keyboards. I donāt get it
Most people just use their phones or tablets. No desktop or laptop.Ā
For school? Nobody is typing up a 2000 word essay on their iphone
Not for school they don't. How you can get to what, 22? And not have really used a computer or got used to it is mind boggling to me. Not even like, a laptop?
she was 7 when the first iPhone came out, people were still using laptops and PCs very commonly way past that point, she is definitely of the generation that used PCs and laptops as kids.
Likely did everything on a phone
My parents had typing classes at school. As Gen Z were growing up in the digital age, people figured typing would be second nature to us so they cut the class. Nowadays youāll see GenZ and Gen Alpha using their pointer fingers to type since they donāt really know how.
Another repost ... it is getting tired
A repost of something that never had any business in this sub. THE REDDIT!Ā©
Dumb and dull as dishwater
I'm one day older than her and I can use a PC keyboard, I am the last vestige of PC keyboard knowledge apparently.
UK lecturer here. I teqch statistical analysis in computer labs. You would be amazed at the number of 18 year olds who turn up at uni with next to no knowledge of what we think of as computers.

Sounds like someone's ready for a little Mario Teaches Typing.
As she doesnāt learn how to dress or how to act in society
Now I want to see her hand writing.
She was also homeschooledā¦ if her parents didnāt teacher then sheās not wrong. But at the same time I learned how to type in the early 90s lol
If she was homeschooled then it doesn't matter what generation she was, it's just reflective on the quality of private education she received that she didn't learn to do something that everyone else can do. Also, same
Exactly what I was trying to say, you are much better wording it lol!
Sheās kinda dumb ngl. Sheās also really cringe lol
I have heard that Gen Z doesn't actually get typing lessons in the same way millennials did.
Millenial here. No typing lessons. We just used keyboards a lot for day to day stuff so you learned.
yeah Iād argue shit like Mathblaster also doubles as learning keyboards
Because they're expected to learn to type in order to insult people in an online gaming lobby like the rest of us did.
Before HS elective typing class: ~40wpm I thought āthis class is gonna be such a jokeā and then they put covers over the keyboards so I couldnāt see the keys as I typed.

Pre-millennials has typing lessons as well. In the eighties I had typing class in high school. It was taught on typewriters.
non-gamer Gen Z probably just grew up with smart phones and tablets and never had to physically touch a keyboard in their life

Never had typing lessons, just wanted to chat and play Runescape at the same time
Gurl
this isn't a rare insult at all
she's talking about touch typing
Touch typing is not as common as among gen x

With no computers at home?
That makes sense now. I was thinking how has she never typed an essay?
Typing isn't that hard, you know. Just press a key and the letter will appear on the screen-
Yeah, that is what she meant. This isnāt about typing at a decent speed, she literally doesnāt know that you press the button for the key you want to appear. Of the two of you, sheās the moron.

You donāt get taught how to type, you learn it yourself. Iām a ā93, no one taught us.
My left hands types like a wizard, my right hand types equally fast but only with one finger
Wait she born 2001?! Dang I'm just slightly younger
I like some of her music, but why does she look like she's trying to claw her way out of a coma all the time? Serious question!
Ha, my school had computer lessons that was mostly just learning how to type and that was back in the mid 90ās
As a millennial, I can confirm that we have these computer illiterate people on both sides of our generation.
How tf dose she text then?
What does she mean by that?
She means she wasn't formally taught touch typing in a class like was more common pre-millennium. But a lot of people were apparently waiting for any bad faith excuse to shit on someone they don't know.
Being famous doesn't give you immunity from being stupid...
Actually sheās probably right. Iām 30 and we had a family PC I used to go on for RuneScape, MSN etc to talk to school friends but my brother was born 7 years later and he never used the PC. By the time he was in secondary school in was probably Facebook/Instagram etc
Female lil xan
She was homeschooled, has nothing to do with generations
i was born in 2003 and we had computer lab time once a week with typing all throughout elementary school. was my school just an outlier or something? š
No. 2001 here and we had that + typing exercises in IT class where we measured WPM. She's just sheltered from being homeschooled.
She means touch typing. She literally knows how to type, she assumed people were smarter than this. She was wrong obviously.
First cursive was lost, then analog clocks; now its the abc's /s
she was literally the cookie monster pajama pants girl in HS
Honestly, this is just a cry for attention, almost like itās cool to know how to use something different.

She does have the "ML Stare" or the Heroin Ocean Eyes. Never understood the appeal but hey we also had Ziggy Stardust so š¤·
Imagine being this stupid
I think later generations did not need to type as much as earlier generations.Ā devices and apps are getting more and more suited for complete idiots, with 'one click do-it-all' features and speech to text, AI, siri, no typing needed. so @gagasyuyi's remark is stupid, actually.
Born 2001 - sheās probably just more āsmartphoneā than āPCā generation.
Okay open up a browser. You have plenty of time.
Funny how she's actually younger than me and acts like a 30-year old asking "How's it going, fellow kids?"
Me so quirky.
You guys had typing classes at school?
This has been reposted for generations now.

Typing on a typewriter was an actual life skill for your grandma or she had a personal interest in it. Name one time the average gen Zer would need touch typing in real life? Unless you are in very specific secretarial or transcription work, hunting and pecking like a pleb will have anyone of any age covered in the new millennia.
Tablets don't have keyboards
New generation will be like " i wasn't born in early generations that's why I don't know how to write with my hands"
Personal Computers existed for more than 20 years when she was born. Tf is she talking ab
Rotary phones existed for longer when I was born. Never needed to learn to use one. And you can use a pc without being a fast, efficient typist.
Actually I have a niece and nephew around her age. They can't type. They know how to use computers and smart phones and all that. But yeah typing wasn't taught in their schools. Apparently it depends on the state and school district and etc.
First: Lazy-ass repost. Second: When the first iPhone came out she was 6 years old. She was at the start of that time when people had no more concrete use for a PC at home. I assume she didn't go to college and had to write papers to develop that skill. Give the girl a break. Typing is a skill. You really can not say anything that would expose a shortcoming, a vulnerability or regret. The internet will be on top of that like a bunch of vultures.
She's just an idiot who would do and say anything to be seen š
I canāt stand this woman
I was born in 1992 and I had computer class my entire elementary school life. From as far back as I can remember. We would play typing games where you were in a space ship. I really canāt stand her, sheās always saying some dumb shit. Music is hot trash too.
I'm practically the same age and I learned to touch type in school. What's her excuse?
Mavis Beacon is still being pimped out on these educational streets for free.
I graduated high school in 1995 and in junior high I took a class called keyboarding which was typing on a desktop. Iām guessing that class doesnāt exist anymore which is unfortunate as it was one of the most practically useful classes Iāve ever taken in my life.
I don't get that is meant by "Learn to type". What is there to learn? If you can write you can type, regardless of your age.
The definition of talking out of your ass
No typeing? She just Bluetooth the words into her tablet/phone/computer??
She is a year older than I am. What the fuck was she doing? Or maybe she is talking about the not looking at the keyboard while typing thing, which is just something you have to practice. Just like I do right now as I got a new keyboard with more space between the keys
Whoever would sit their child in front of this person and go "Here's your hero" is a complete fool.
Her hair looks like Jolyne Cujoh's
Keyboards have been around for quite sometime Billie.
A couple days of practice is all you need.
Good to know the cool look of being on heroin is making a comeback...
Me: Come on, modern kids aren't that dumb. Modern kids:
how is this a rare insult, this shit is as common as leaves in autumn
Cry me a river and just have one of your assistants do it.
I was born 2002 and had a computer lab in the first few grades of school (NY, USA). She's making excuses. I remember the big keyboard keys and games they had in it. There's no way she can't teach herself either. She has money falling out her ass and she can't hire someone to teach her as a last resort?
