That's the generation that doesn't understand computers at all. FFS.
Like every generation?
Only a small minority of any actually understand computers.
Theres a sweet spot before like 2010 where computer skills are still prevalent enough to be taught en masse, but the upcoming generation seem to be learning touchscreen keyboards and app stores long before they ever use a mouse or try to download off a website. The older generation has had time to adjust but a lot still struggle with tech.
Apparently UK universities need to teach how directories work to first year Computer Science students. They've grown up with polished, closed devices and many only know apps and the basics of using the internet.
