    I’m gen z and I’ve noticed the same thing. Nearly all gen z use computers, but because its so accessible and simplified they are nearly all tech illiterate.

    The people most knowledgeable about tech that I’ve met have been gen x. A lot of them are unfortunately some of the least knowledgeable though because they had no experience with computers until later in life.

      Gen X built the Internet you’re using actually, and most of the server infrastructure that runs the world.

        A select few, sure. But as far as I’ve noticed, Gen X (especially the older half) are like Boomer-Lite, and not just from a technological-literacy standpoint, either.
