Inspired by a post I saw on AskReddit (which has now been removed). What is something you believe is growing because of young people?

    I had a degreed engineer ask me to help them tally the count of screen objects because they kept losing track. There were just over 10 items. I told them they needed to discuss the issue with their manager because clearly that’s a problem.

    Dude, that’s not someone who didn’t learn to count, that’s someone experiencing a cognitive issue or who has a learning disability. Don’t be a dick. Just count the things. Please use your intact senses and faculties to help others when you have the opportunity.

      Even in the context that the person couldn’t count easily called the it help desk, they could raise it as an accessibility issue.

      And the fun thing is, disability is the one minority group that anybody can join, if something bad happens to them, and making things more accessibile for tge disabled usually improves the lives of everyone! Like curb cuts and elevators helping parents with strollers in greater numbers than the wheelchairs they are designed for.
