@@Brand_SupportTouchscreen is for quick games you can pick up and put down, like Angry Birds or Among Us, not for serious games you’d want to play in particularly long sessions.
Right there with you age and all. When I seen my nephew (6) playing roadblocks (how ever it’s spelled) over Christmas one the fighting with One Punch stuff was legit pretty cool animations. But the way he was using it all with touch I said would a controller not make it easier for you to connect and do better. He looked at me like I was a Alien talking in a foreign tongue.

Kind of depends on age but in my experience elementary schools have even switched to tablets for the younger kids. So it wouldn't be as useful as you think.
@@RotseerThere are definitely hundreds if not thousands of schools that have no electronic devices to speak of whatsoever; A lot of them are even in rural areas in first world countries. And even if we were only talking about the schools that do have computer labs with mice and keyboards, The kids are assigned iPads and other touch screen devices; making them used to playing games and interacting with touch screens more than keyboards [since they would only interact with keyboards in the computer labs but they would interact with the tablets all the time everywhere else].
Honestly ever since touch screens became widespread I've known several people either considerably older or younger than me assume that every moniter on any device produced after a certain point is touch-capable. I've had both my aunts and much younger cousins attempt to touch and scroll on my laptop and PC moniters throughout the years. Feels like you've had to been born during a certain sweet spot of touch screen technology development to have grown up with a healthy understanding of what seperates a device from being touch capable or analog.
My neighbour had some kind of emergency and dropped her 5 year old kid off at my house for a few hours. At one point she gestured at the Game Boy on my desk and asked what it was. I turned it on and she was absolutely fascinated by Tetris. She got the hang of the game incredibly quickly. It's a pretty sturdy piece of hardware so I didn't mind letting her hang on to it for the rest of the day. I looked over at her to check if she was alright a little later when I noticed that she was being a little too quiet only to see her red-faced and with extreme frustration repeatedly sliding her finger down from the top of the screen. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was "trying to turn up the brightness". I don't know what the expression on my face was but it made her scowl at me in response. I get the feeling it was some mix of confusion, then realisation, followed by almost insuppressible laughter. Took me a few seconds after that to compose myself and explain that it didn't have that and how to best use it. I think I aged 20 years that day.
To be fair, I completely understand where that little girl is coming from. Once I got a game boy advance SP and its revolutionary backlit screen, I could never go back. Luckily there are reproduction Gameboys with backlit screens, so I don't necessarily NEED to go back.

Well you also have to keep in mind that most children don't get access to video game conventions at young ages... unless their family is financially doing well. Which means that these kids probably didn't grow up with the hand me down consoles. Going to a video game con growing up would have been amazing, but no way in hell was my parents going to suffer the financial impact of a cross state trip and multiple days off work for some games. The point being, these kids probably exclusively have new tech as their baseline because they have a family that can afford it.
Its pure cap btw. Most kids are used to public tech demos being touch screen for the same reason why kiosks are touch screen. Most kids are used to keyboard and mouse because of Roblox. Controllers cus of Fortnite. Mobile games peaked when I was a kid, and have been on a downward spiral ever since.
@@honkhonk8009 you haven't seen the stuff coming out of Asia then. They lead the way for mobile gaming, with some good examples being Arknights, Genshin Impact, Blue Archive, Azur Lane, Granblue Fantasy, Punishing Grey Ravens, Reverse 1999, and Honkai Star Rail.

@@stock_movie1875i was there at that con where heartbound was being shown, 50% might be a stretch but there was an *alarming* amount of kids who did exactly what thor said, some of this generation really won't know what a controller is...
@@Zarro0o0o yeah no. There's no way. 97% of homes have a computer and 67% have a game console of some kind. So this would literally take a family that is homeschooling their kids and doesn't own either. Which is statistically impossible still because it's practically guaranteed that their friends have them and let them play with them. So I'm sorry to say this is impossible
@@stock_movie1875 like I said, 50% is a stretch, it was max 25%, and even if the kids knew how to use controllers, their first instinct was to try and use it as a touchscreen. The amount of parents who throw ipads in their kids faces instead of giving them attention is viciously depressing, even some of the video game nerd parents, so it's all the kids know. It's also not like 100's of children went and played heartbound, over the course of the con I saw only a handful of children there. If I knew something like 100+ kids went and played at the booth and *then* he said 50%, he'd be dead wrong and I'd know it. The majority were adults and teenagers, being this pedantic is unnecessary. This is the touchscreen generation, this stat will eventually hit 50%, and it's gonna suck lobster and falcon balls when it happens.
@@stock_movie1875 cap, you grew up with an ironing board and a washing machine in your house but you never learnt how to use it For real though having one in the house and having any kind of experience with it are totally different things, also, my mums house has no pc in it, 2 of my three best friends houses have no pc in it, 97 is NOT an upto date figure, maybe in like 2010, but now people don't need them because of phones and such, that figure fell off hard
It is normal, technology is exponential, it will take less time to move for X tech to Y the further we advance, at least for the moment, "conventional gaming" started worldwide with the NES mostly, so in 1985, we kept this format of controler + game media for 30 years, downloading games on consoles instead of physical media got mostly normal around 2015-2016 and some people already find it "normal" or at least not weird to stream your games, so no consoles, no media, it took less than 10 years to """"erase"""" 30 years of "normal gaming technology" in a span of 40 years, pretty much 3/4 of that time was spent on playing 2/4 players splitscreen, the rest is the normal you know today, online gaming.
the thing is this is happening SO FAST that i dont even get to feel old from it since i have watched it happen right before me over the few years it took to REALLY happen.
Man I'm 28 and touch screens were a thing when I was in highschool. They were still a novelty but they weren't like the rarest thing ever, usually most middle class kids already had one. HOW tf did it go from "yeah haha you sometimes use a phone you're a phone junkie" to straight up kids not even knowing how to use a keyboard. A controller is more niche, but a keyboard? What?
Yeah I've noticed that too especially growing up with younger siblings, I'm not much older than them but they know like nothing compared to all the things I figured out as a kid and have no incentive to figure it out
I'm a librarian, and we have a gaming room where lots of kids come to play Roblox and Fortnite and shit, and the older kids (12-16) are reasonably familiar with the computer, but the younger ones (8-10) genuinely have no idea what they are doing. Every single day, I get asked why the computer isn't working, but then find out that it's because they don't understand the difference between left and right clicking. Any time they ask for help starting the games or anything like that, I always point at the shortcut on the desktop and tell them to double click, and what do they do? They reach out and smear their greasy thumbs on the screen. BEST case scenario, they clumsily finagle the mouse pointer over the shortcut and right click it.
as soon as I started reading I was going to ask if they leave gross nasty finger prints. Kids are gross. There were noticeable grime ridges on my nephews tablet's screen
@@EndlessDelusion They leave loads of prints, yes. The place where I see the most amount of prints is the windows button and the power button (from when they, instead of shutting down normally, force a shut down by holding down the button and I just about lose my shit).
I remember when I was little back in elementary, or was it at home, idk either way, I was a little kid who didn't know how to work a computer and when I would always ask for help my teacher always make me keep my hand on top of the mouse and she'd put hers on top of mine and would guide me through how to do what Is wanted to do. So it got me used to and comfortable using a mouse. Eventually when I grew up I learned more on my own about shortcuts and stuff.

High pass at 70Hz, +6dB to +8dB on about 125Hz (Bandwidth 2, so it "falls back to 0dB" at 300 Hz) for a "warmer" sound, the rest depends on a few variations, like mic, room and your actual voice. In my case I also put -4dB on 675Hz.
Unfortunately the days of the keyboard and mouse seem to be coming to an end. Controller is the better/more dominants input on most games nowadays with all the aim assist in games
@@ZensivYT So you're saying that controller is superior because all the crutch aim-bot developer implemented in their game *_to let controller-user to have some fighting chance?_* man, gamer nowadays being treated like they have some disability. what's next? game that play by it self? oh wait...
@@H.A.R.D.B.O.I.L.E.D yeah it’s pretty unfortunate.. in most shooter games controller dominates now. In halo they had to add a lot of aim assist to mnk to make it more competitive to controllers…
@@ZensivYTSo you're saying controller is better because you get help from aim assist... Like sure, but then play single player and turn down the difficulty mate... Controller is actually just so bad that it needs aim assist.
Reminds me of an old support tech story. Customer calls and complains that the voice control of his computer doesn't work. He'd been screaming "START" at the top of his lungs and nothing happened.
I'm 42. My son is almost two. His favorite kinds of toys are the ones with buttons. When he's in my office or I'm working on my laptop, he's ALWAYS reaching for the keyboard. There is hope, my friends! There is hope!
i said the same thing growing up. and boy oh boy was i wrong too. i thought i was doing great until about 5-6 years ago i started hearing the word fleek. it was at this moment, not even being 30. i realized. im fuckin old because i have zeero clue wtf they just said
It's not really about keeping up, it's about picking the things you adopt. A lot of kids grow up with things they don't like and don't adopt, or don't like and are forced to adopt and they haven't been exposed to alternatives. Classic example is kids growing up with tablets, because schools use them and parents don't know shit about computers or games. Plus, for kids, having "the new thing" is more about clout and obsession than actual function, so... yeah The only reason boomers stay boomers, is because they simply have no interest in a lot of new things so they don't even need to be exposed to them in the first place. You are your environment
@lechking941 Im IN highschool right now and this made me feel old. The sheer concept of kids not knowing what a controller is, when I effectively grew up woth them, is absurd.
I'm 54 and glad I got to experience the 80s games with their joysticks, big buttons, rollerballs and levers. They were crude, and we beat on them like animals.
Not to mention going outside, playing games with actual friends, climbing trees, trying not to get killed/burned by the metal items in the park, & being the remote for the TV/antenna holder.
Hate to be that guy, but the vast majority of houses don't have clapper lights. I'm willing to bet the market share has actually *decreased* over the past 15 years. I'm pretty sure that clapper lights are a distinctively millennial / older zoomer childhood thing.
@@SneedsterSpeedsterit was a thing in the 80/90s (i guess a bit before even) but only in the US pretty much. in the late 90s/early 00s it was out of fashion already
I’ve got a similar story as someone who has worked as an early years practitioner (nursery work ages 3-5) where some of the kids would pick up a book to try and read it by themselves but would only tap and swipe across the front cover of the book only to get annoyed and confused as to why it wasn’t moving to the next picture.
Thank god someone agrees, this is so much more than just a change in paradigm, this is literally zero reasoning in action Picture this, you're at a convention, where there are games- a nerdy place, kind of gotta know what's going on You walk up to a big desk, with unknown objects on it, and a game probably nearly half an arm to a whole arm's length away The logical response is NOT to reach that whole arm's length to touch the screen that is, perhaps, LONGER than your arm from corner to corner. There is so much external context and stimuli that you literally cannot fuck it up unless there is NO reasoning happening there Unless this is like literally toddler aged children being taken to a convention by their parents, in which case let's be honest, none of US would have thought to grab the controller at that age, we're all sand brained idiots
Same. Phones and tablets are literally causing brainrot. No, seriously, go look it up. The average iq across generations is drastically lowering in recent years
Touch screen is for simple tasks. Controllers are for slightly more complicated tasks while laying on a couch. Keyboard and mouse is efficiency, precision and power.
im so fucking sad. my little sister wanted to play minecraft on my phone, i got my laptop out for the crossplay, i passed her my phone and synced up my controller to it but she just put it down and used the screen😢

As someone who works IT in education, I can 100% attest to this. Part of our curriculum now is that every K-2 student has a Chromebook that is touch capable for the same reason. They primarily know touch screens. But thankfully we do teach them how to navigate and use their keyboard and trackpad. But majority do not know how to use a mouse still.

@@Rotseerthe elementary school I used to go to recently switched to tablets to cut costs lmao
@@Rotseer I'm guessing you haven't been in a school recently.
Honestly ever since touch screens became widespread I've known several people either considerably older or younger than me assume that every moniter on any device produced after a certain point is touch-capable. I've had both my aunts and much younger cousins attempt to touch and scroll on my laptop and PC moniters throughout the years. Feels like you've had to been born during a certain sweet spot of touch screen technology development to have grown up with a healthy understanding of what seperates a device from being touch capable or analog.
My neighbour had some kind of emergency and dropped her 5 year old kid off at my house for a few hours. At one point she gestured at the Game Boy on my desk and asked what it was. I turned it on and she was absolutely fascinated by Tetris. She got the hang of the game incredibly quickly. It's a pretty sturdy piece of hardware so I didn't mind letting her hang on to it for the rest of the day.
I looked over at her to check if she was alright a little later when I noticed that she was being a little too quiet only to see her red-faced and with extreme frustration repeatedly sliding her finger down from the top of the screen. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was "trying to turn up the brightness".
I don't know what the expression on my face was but it made her scowl at me in response. I get the feeling it was some mix of confusion, then realisation, followed by almost insuppressible laughter. Took me a few seconds after that to compose myself and explain that it didn't have that and how to best use it. I think I aged 20 years that day.
To be fair, I completely understand where that little girl is coming from. Once I got a game boy advance SP and its revolutionary backlit screen, I could never go back.
Luckily there are reproduction Gameboys with backlit screens, so I don't necessarily NEED to go back.

Going to a video game con growing up would have been amazing, but no way in hell was my parents going to suffer the financial impact of a cross state trip and multiple days off work for some games.

Any time they ask for help starting the games or anything like that, I always point at the shortcut on the desktop and tell them to double click, and what do they do? They reach out and smear their greasy thumbs on the screen. BEST case scenario, they clumsily finagle the mouse pointer over the shortcut and right click it.

Time to get that kid to work typing essays!
Can confirm, my 2yo loves to just ghost type on a spare keyboard, the clackier the better
You are a good dad, especially compared to the rest of modern day parents

Thank you, take care of the boy, let him push as many buttons as he can, godspeed
"I won't hate younger generations, I'll try to keep up with things forever"
Learning how wrong i was about that
The thing is you're wrong. You ARE keeping up. Kids don't know shit.
@@RockSolitudeI have a feeling the someone said exact same thing about you when you were a kid..
Things, change
i said the same thing growing up. and boy oh boy was i wrong too.
i thought i was doing great until about 5-6 years ago i started hearing the word fleek. it was at this moment, not even being 30. i realized. im fuckin old because i have zeero clue wtf they just said
Because they grew up with touch screens?
It's not really about keeping up, it's about picking the things you adopt.
A lot of kids grow up with things they don't like and don't adopt, or don't like and are forced to adopt and they haven't been exposed to alternatives.
Classic example is kids growing up with tablets, because schools use them and parents don't know shit about computers or games. Plus, for kids, having "the new thing" is more about clout and obsession than actual function, so... yeah
The only reason boomers stay boomers, is because they simply have no interest in a lot of new things so they don't even need to be exposed to them in the first place. You are your environment
As a kid I played computer games and keyboards 50/50. Both were amazing. It's crazy that's how kids see games now, but it makes sense.
they developer a severe internet addiction just like us but with zero additional computer skills 💀
instead of computer skills thay have 0 socials skill to atleast we have some of it (some)
@@gamerforreal2437the important part is some but yea
We somehow have some of it
And fucking hell, I feel so old after hearing that, it scary
@@galomir833bro I'm only about 23 not even to long out of high and I feel old as shit. But ya some social skill.
My guy we have been using computers since years, personally since 4 but they like never touched one
@lechking941 Im IN highschool right now and this made me feel old. The sheer concept of kids not knowing what a controller is, when I effectively grew up woth them, is absurd.
I'm 54 and glad I got to experience the 80s games with their joysticks, big buttons, rollerballs and levers. They were crude, and we beat on them like animals.
Not to mention going outside, playing games with actual friends, climbing trees, trying not to get killed/burned by the metal items in the park, & being the remote for the TV/antenna holder.
@@NoahMiller-gr9ul you were 4 when you started this video?
@@pingi6607 lmaoooo bro you got me loool
My little brother is building a fighting gamepad, and has plans for one with a stick. Making me proud.
@pingi6607 I'm 29 and start playing games when I was 4
Me:why are you clapping?
Kid: trying to turn the lights off.
Stop! I can't hear you if I make myself forget this might be a real thing. OMG! 2006 was 18 years ago!!!
Hate to be that guy, but the vast majority of houses don't have clapper lights. I'm willing to bet the market share has actually *decreased* over the past 15 years. I'm pretty sure that clapper lights are a distinctively millennial / older zoomer childhood thing.
@@SneedsterSpeedsterit was a thing in the 80/90s (i guess a bit before even) but only in the US pretty much. in the late 90s/early 00s it was out of fashion already
😂😂😂
@SneedsterSpeedster shut up man it was a good joke
I’ve got a similar story as someone who has worked as an early years practitioner (nursery work ages 3-5) where some of the kids would pick up a book to try and read it by themselves but would only tap and swipe across the front cover of the book only to get annoyed and confused as to why it wasn’t moving to the next picture.
“Father, I cannot click the book”
this doesn't make me feel old, it makes me feel irrationally angry
Same here. It's unfathomable
That's part of being old.
Thank god someone agrees, this is so much more than just a change in paradigm, this is literally zero reasoning in action
Picture this, you're at a convention, where there are games- a nerdy place, kind of gotta know what's going on
You walk up to a big desk, with unknown objects on it, and a game probably nearly half an arm to a whole arm's length away
The logical response is NOT to reach that whole arm's length to touch the screen that is, perhaps, LONGER than your arm from corner to corner. There is so much external context and stimuli that you literally cannot fuck it up unless there is NO reasoning happening there
Unless this is like literally toddler aged children being taken to a convention by their parents, in which case let's be honest, none of US would have thought to grab the controller at that age, we're all sand brained idiots
Same. Phones and tablets are literally causing brainrot. No, seriously, go look it up. The average iq across generations is drastically lowering in recent years
Touch screen is for simple tasks. Controllers are for slightly more complicated tasks while laying on a couch. Keyboard and mouse is efficiency, precision and power.
Slowly realising I’m starting to sound like my grandparents with all this back in my day😭
im so fucking sad. my little sister wanted to play minecraft on my phone, i got my laptop out for the crossplay, i passed her my phone and synced up my controller to it but she just put it down and used the screen😢
What's different is the speed at which we seem to be left behind. At least our grandparents had decades to adjust. We seem to get 5-10 year and we feel obsolete 😅
"back in my day" yup, ... you're old.
my neighbors kids asked me if my favorite starter pokémon Fuecoco and i responded with Cyndiquill (im old school but 2nd Gen is my fav… they looked at me like i was crazy when i said i prefer 2d models 😑 i had a “back in my day” moment when i said i only had 151 pokémon when i was their age…
@@Ld7snakemy starter was squirtle😂
forget 50, I aged 100 years in an instant, the moment I also realized, "I know what a floppy disk is too"
"The fk you mean 'So you 3D-printed the Save button?!?!'"
@@deathsheir2035 Kids born in the generation where they can look up anything don’t know a thing about the very recent past, which is mind blowing to me because I know how to use plenty of tech that came out before I was even born
Ever played a game on a commodore 64? I'm only 32 but I remember getting into the desk chair, booting up the system then having to, I kid you not, type a code to get to he game. Then you played the game. Bro I feel ancient from this xD I think what's left of my soul just died.
@@corwintodd5131 no, nor have I played a game on the atari. In both cases, in both cases, I am very upset. Would absolutely LOVE to play on those old systems.
Bro you're not special. Go ask any kid what games they play and I guarantee most will be something that is played with mouse and keyboard or a controller. This is so blatantly wrong 😂
As someone who works IT in education, I can 100% attest to this. Part of our curriculum now is that every K-2 student has a Chromebook that is touch capable for the same reason. They primarily know touch screens. But thankfully we do teach them how to navigate and use their keyboard and trackpad. But majority do not know how to use a mouse still.
Pretty soon, we’re going to start hearing “You have to use your hands?? That’s like a baby’s toy!”
Just like you can't go over water....unless you got POWER!
Buttheads.
Still waiting for mini pizzas that take 4 seconds to rehydrate into a hot pizza. Or the whole home printers.
Wait is this because of elons nerolink?
wow didnt know that these 3 mounth old kids will be defenetly that smug
This is absolutely true. I gave my sister a flat screen tv I kept in storage. Once I hooked it up in her house, my nieces immediately started to press the screen. 3 days later it was broken.

@@chadofchads7222 well there are people that think games are for kids and never play them. And I know people that furthermore don't like to watch movies, and that's ok in a way if you simply not interested but those who don't play games can't even comprehend what they missing. For those I feel bad.
Profile checks out
This hit me like that GIF of Matt Damon aging like 40 years in 3 seconds
I haven't reached a quarter century yet, I don't think you're legally allowed to make me feel this old.
Hear hear!
Forget aging, this enrages me greatly
Yeah this actually just makes me mad
you can't spell enrage without age
You're mad kids aren't using a controller which requires zero skill to use? Lolol a.i assisted bots
@@texas_2x503if using a control requires 0 skills then these kids have negative skills 💀

They'll never get to go through the "but there is no L3 or R3" phase :(
I had a moment like this where my niece automatically assumed any Bluetooth speaker could be voice controlled because she has grown up with Alexa as part of her every day life. Was actually harder than I thought to explain to her that Alexa is a relatively new technology and that older people don’t necessarily default to saying ‘hey, Alexa’ when we want to do something online
this reminds me of when i was like 3 and i'd only ever really seen TV on DVR recordings or on videotapes & i got very confused and upset that a live television show could not be paused while i went to the bathroom. i just assumed all TVs paused and you could skip commercials lmao. it was explained to me and i lived but similar energy lol
Kids need to learn that not all technology is the same and that different technology exists.
@BigFatOfFate you have to tech kids how to wipe their own ass, cut em some slack if the kids aren't smart it's because they have a parent who ignores them.
@@cale1523 You needed to be taught how to wipe your own ass?
@@sidoniegabrielle269 same issue but in regards to a live playback. live playback made no sense, how could it be live but you can fastforward. didn't understand that it was playback of something once live
Noone knows what this comment originally said.
That really does just sum it up, doesn't it?
Well yeah, cuz they grew up with it. They were born when it all started
More like tech illiterate if you’re referring to the generation referred in the video
I believe he was referring to millennials but u cant discount gen z we also grew up with the rise of tech@@Pro720HyperMaster720
I would say 2.5 because gen Z and millennials are pretty good, and gen X isn’t that bad with phones
My counter argument is that it's been real nice not hearing the squeakiest voice alive in every lobby with a mic
fr
The voice is not even the problem for me, they just have the most annoying topics of conversation
That still exists. The only problem is that it's only in rated M games like GTA5 or COD
Not even fortnite has that many squeakers in it anymore
@@Ninjapizza8247nope I play cod and I rarely hear squeakers
I'm about to be 30. Does anyone else remember growing up and being afraid of the older kids? The older kids would always find a way to crush any fragment of confidence you had as if it were their job lol. Nowadays these kids are seemingly impervious to the same banter we used to fold to. I don't think they experience the same type of bullying we did either or haven't had the fear of God in them yet, or ever. Lol
@@IceTrey98c I would simply tell an adult if someone bullied me.
At fricking 14, why is this making me feel old
Bro I'm 21 this year and my earliest gaming memories revolve around the Nintendo DS, PS2, and very old crappy 2006 PC's. You cannot be telling me that It's only been A SMALL NUMBER OF YEARS AND THINGS HAVE DERAILED THIS BADLY
Doesn't feel so good does it haha, give it another decade 👍🏼
Im only 5 years older but for me my childhood gaming was mostly on a gameboy color, n64, GameCube and ps1, my dad hogged the ps2 when we got it 😂 he did the same for the 360
Ps2 is over 20 years old
@@hildegardvonbingen9092 Very cool
Go to a mall or a restaurant or a supermarket and just see how many kids that are there with phones or tablets just totally engrossed in the things. Hell, I see that even at church.
