screenshot, probably from Ex-Twitter but I saw it on NOSTR, showing a guy saying that training a zoomer to use a PC at work is as difficult as training a boomer, with a reply indicating that there is only one generation that can rotate a PDF and that knowledge dies with us

    Training some younger people at work: “click the cog in the corner to pull up the settings”. “What’s a ‘cog’?” Some things people miss out on life when you’ve never seen a Jetsons episode.

      I’ve never seen an icon of a single cog. Multiple cogs on a hub forming a gear, sure, but never just a cog.

        Huh? The single cog is the standard for settings menus. Just looking at three random apps on my phone, they all had single cog icons.

          cog
          noun
          ˈkäg
          1 : a tooth on the rim of a wheel or gear

          Can you share an image of what you describe as a single cog?

      I just described a cog as a circle with teeth and my son thought it was funny to call the sticky out bits as teeth.

      I’m just hoping he doesn’t ask about crenellations next.
