> I'm seeing some incredible work being done by the younger generations, both for modern computers, but also for the machines of my youth in the 80s and 90s.
I don't dispute that. The younger generations have a huge leg up in terms of available educational resources.
My point is more that the average millennial will be computer literate while the average genz or alpha will not. By literate I mean having a basic understanding of how computers work. Like what a file is, how to find them, what a hard drive or mouse is and does. How to type.
I didn't doubt that the younger Gens will likely run circles around me in terms of programming. Similar to how there were really smart computer literate gen x and boomers.
