it depends on the person. some zoomers are great with tech, hardware and software. others aren't. same goes for every generation. this reeks of the "haha let's shit on the younger generations" millennials have been mad about for years

    Sorry, but its different this time. A much smaller chunk of gen z is good with tech, and most of them struggle with basic concepts (like filesystems). Saying this as a gen z person.

    I disagree. I work IT for a living. I fix a lot of devices for gen z but don't often have to educate them on software. the amount of people 30+ who don't realize I as a random IT worker can't magically reset their yahoo password is insane.

    And I've worked with some boomers who could use filezilla and other higher level than typical tech. There are some that are talented, but the average is noticeably lower.

    Yeah I suspect what's happening is that plenty of boomers were actually just bad at tech but they got to use the excuse that they didn't grow up with it. Any gen z people that are bad at tech don't have that excuse so it seems like they're stupid, when in reality there have always been stupid people or people who just aren't interested.
