Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do. The generation that grew up with the internet isn’t invulnerable to becoming the victim of online hackers and scammers. (www.vox.com)

What I've heard, and what makes sense, is that Millenials had to learn technology and troubleshoot all the issues for their parents.

Now that they're grown up, they continue to troubleshoot issues for their kids and fix any issues.

So their kids don't get that same experience.

This is more of a generalization of course, there are absolutely genZ-ers who are tech savvy.
