Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology? (dmv.pub)

My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.

I'm 40 and I've never scanned a qr code in my life. So yes, absolutely.

A lot of websites that offer 2FA will require that you scan a QR code. Are you just never using 2FA?

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The only 2fa I've used sends an alphanumeric code that I type in.

Please don't ever scan a QR code! You have no idea, just like shortened URLs, where it will take you.

Or you could get a QR code reader that displays the URL before opening the browser.

What am I to do if I ever go to a restaurant that only has qr codes for menus?
