My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

    I don’t think it’s so black and white. Instead I think it’s created both clueless gen z kids and extremely computer literate gen z kids. I see so many kids now picking up on computers and coding so quickly that I don’t think things like the filesystem will ever be too archaic, it’ll just remain in the background managed by those who can now simplify tasks for the others who don’t understand it as well. The proof is in Linux’s growing numbers that people have more interests in computers now than ever before.

    It’s just that equally as such, there are people who are just going to navigate the world of tech in a completely different way. They either see the world (literally lol) through their phones or even with upcoming AI. Though I still think millennials have the capacity to keep up better than previous generations when it comes to tech.
