Gen Z/A are good at using tech, but they don't really know anything about how it works. I work in IT support and it can honestly be a tossup sometimes if the person who doesnt know how to clear their cache is a boomer or not.
Millennials don't, either. A tiny fraction of a fraction had technical literacy 20 years ago and now they think they're top shit because they can write simple CMD commands.
All this jerking one another off is crazy. I work in the industry and I'm surrounded by people my own age who don't know what Active Directory is much less Linux.
People don't need to know how to write a program from scratch to have useful tech knowledge. Knowing basic keyboard shortcuts puts a person above the vast majority of other people in terms of tech literacy.
For real. I've taught people copy paste shortcuts and they act like I'm an alien.
