How to keep up to date with tech trends among younger people?
I realize this makes me sound very old. I am a very curious person and want to continously develop and adapt.
Some trends might not be improvements, but some might be.

It’s quite easy actually. You just need to spend 90% of your day watching TikTok. /s
Seriously though what do you mean by this? Most young people ‘tech trends’ are just capitalism fucking them over, the screen time of gen z and gen A is insane. There is nothing interesting going on there, all the cool stuff is here on lemmy: Linux, open source, AI without the billionaire hype etc.
I’m a member of the younger generation myself and I don’t understand why people so many people don’t see it as a leach on their lives, maybe it’s my neurodivergence that makes me have a different perspective.

I will add onto this and say that new trends in general spread through ads for younger generation.
Just using an adblock makes me feel disconnected at times because idk what new movie or app my friends are talking about.
