Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology? - eviltoast

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.

    Technology for new generations is really dumbed down, unless you want to learn and get into the weeds deliberately. Millennials know how to work around multiple operating systems and generally also learned how to troubleshoot (of course, there are a lot of millennials who aren’t interested in tech as well). Zoomers will definitely have their own generation specific stuff they will know much better than any other generation.

    I like to think every generation has it own knowledge and speciality, and bringing those together is when we as a species grow and advance.
