My generation will have tech illiteracy problems worse than the boomers. Yours will be even worse than mine. It's because most people reach a point where they stop trying to keep up with everything and fall behind.

You'll start to see it after you pass 40 or so. Then when you're in your 60s it'll be your generation's turn to be mocked as the bumbling idiots who ruined the world.

So have fun with that.

Uhhh… no. Gen z has had to deal with and understand changing technology since birth. I have faith in them.

The only thing boomers have proved is they’re able to do is ruin the economy and fuck over their children.

Gen z doesn't have to understand shit about tech. They've been given apps that work flawlessly since birth. The only people "forced" to understand tech were the late Xers/early millenials where you got some cool new program or hardware and it almost never worked out of the box so you'd have to troubleshoot the shit out of everything before you could even google for answers.

After that plug and play started to work better and after that we got apps.

Somewhat agree but hopefully we do a good job passing on the torch to help the next generation
