I've trained a lot of 18-22 y/os in the last 10 years and they are fine. Let's not become the boomers please...

Yeah, being dumb is hardware-agnostic. As some guy put it, "being stupid isn't a big deal anymore; some of my best friends are stupid".
It just stunlocks me a little bit as younger people have been around tech their whole life, unlike boomers, who were born before computers.

"been around tech their whole life" more like they have a locked down phone, locked down game console and MAYBE a desktop computer. It's too rounded out and consumer friendly now, you never have to peek under the hood.

There's one generation between boomers and zoomers? I'm pretty confident I know who it is you're forgetting.

Gen X: the forgotten generation.

And nobody taught us shit, we know how to do stuff because we had to figure it out ourselves. That's why they don't notice us. But... whatever.

I was pretty worthless with computers at 16 too.

Now I’m almost 40 and I’m working In the industry and slowly getting worse again

2 generations. Gen X and Millennials are both of the right age to properly understand computers.
