oh my godā¦.there are people alive in this day and age who donāt know how to torrent movies
a friend the other day was likeā¦.āoh i really want to watch this movie but i cant find it anywhere on netflix or onlineā and i saidĀ āoh you can just torrent itā and she gave me the blankest lookā¦and then i saidĀ āyou knowā¦piratebay? kickasstorrents?ā and she just frowned at meā¦whatās happening to this generation
Guys itās so much worse than that.
A couple years ago an instructor at my college who taught basic programming courses for game design majors posted on his facebook that a bunch of his incoming freshmen didnāt know how to create a zip file.Ā
A lot of public schools dropped their computer literacy courses in the early 2000s because they just assumed kids would ālearn it at home.ā Thereās a whole generation of kids whoĀ only know how to navigate a touchscreen phone/tablet.Ā Theyāve never used a laptop or desktop.
I saved the facebook post and discussion thread ā you can read it here:Ā http://lierdumoa.tumblr.com/post/162986545597/image-is-a-screen-capture-of-a-facebook-post
I teach a college English class and not a semester goes by where I donāt have to teach a student how to use the Tab key to indent a new paragraph, because some of them literally have no pragmatic computer experience.
pirate bay and kickass torrents are long goneā¦.. like ofc kids dont know about themā¦
theyāreā¦.theyāre still there. kickasstorrents and pirate bay are still there and still kickin like crazyā¦.in 2019ā¦.i think people not knowing about them has to do more with the rise of streaming services like netflix n hulu n shit
But its illegal?????????
this is actually the funniest objection iāve seen so far. what are you? a cop? you love the law? you love paying 15 dollars for albums made by artists who eat lamborghinis and diamonds and will make more money in a year than you ever will in your life? itās okay. fuck the law.
As someone who worked in the film and television industryā¦ everyone I knew pirated movies/shows. Weāre all like āhey, you gonna watch the show after itās done?ā āYeah, I guess, Iāll probably just stream itā. No one gives a fuck.
