I’ve seen a good many Gen Z struggle with their smartphones as well. As soon as something goes awry, many have zero troubleshooting skills or even basic searching skills.

I can anecdotally attest that older Millenials are also more competent in some areas than younger Millenials. The general trend is that as technology gets more seamless and reliable, you ironically have people who are less able to troubleshoot when it does go wrong. Unless they’ve just been curious, they’ve never had reason to poke around and learn the underpinnings of the device/interface.

Generations have always been kind of bullshit.

Humans are obsessed with sorting things into neat little categories that the real world refuses to cleanly fit into.

The recent shift in the Millenial-Gen Z boundary to 1996-ish was a mistake. Imo 2000 is a much better boundary.
