Computers, math, cooking, cleaning, exercise, eating properly.
It's just another in a long list of things that some grown-ass adults act like is somehow beyond them because that's easier than trying.
Definitely not unique to any generation.

It sure is getting worse, though.

lol it's really not, at all. every generation tells themselves this and it's always bullshit.
The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

There are objective metrics one can use, rather than basing your opinion on your personal observation window.

There are, sure. And you are going to cherry-pick the ones that allow you to feel a smug and very much unearned sense of superiority.

I'm old and educated, so sorry.

No need to apologize to me, I'm not the one making a fool out of myself.
Educated indeed. Lmao.

I'm sure there are plenty of cases of this, but I feel the need to point out that a lot of times there can be mental illness at the root. Which is definitely not easier than trying.

That's the funny part. It's not really easier. They have to go through life depending on others to do trivial things for them.
Imagine taking your car to a mechanic for low tire pressure rather than learning how to use the pumps at a gas station.
