    He’s not wrong. But God, I wish he was wrong. If people kept up with tech, they’d be here on lemmy.

      People know what an app is. They may not understand how it works fully but you’re gunna have to be ok with the fact that this is a mildly niche community and you can know a lot of tech stuff these days without being particularly passionate about it.

      Trump not knowing what an app is just shows that he’s beyond regular stupid, below even what could be considered the barest level of “in touch”.

        They know app icons. That’s about it. I don’t think most people could even define the difference between software and hardware.

        No, not really. Most people dont know the majority of apps are electron wrappers for websites. Even then the average age is high enough that the majority of people probably don’t know what an app is general, they click the pre installed Facebook logo on their free with plan bottom tier smart phone.

        Whenever Trump says “most people…”, he really just means himself.
