This is an older story, but I installed Xubuntu on an ssd in my boomer parents Vista era computer to keep it running. They really didnt know the difference, my mom only played solitaire while Thunderbird was managable for my dad. My millenial neice and nephews had no idea either, I'd find exe files they would download, but noone ever said anything about why they didnt work anymore. They have no idea about how computers work.

I'm not very technical, but I had to move a jumper on my old 386 when I upgraded my modem.

I spent 25 years without remembering that, you sonuvabitch! :-D. Sorry, the PTSD takes over sometimes. Goddamned supra winmodems and hot-glued ISA cards in overpriced junk RadioShack/FutureShop computers....

Chromebooks and iPads as the primary devices in schools have hurt the kids in my opinion. Too locked down to allow for exploration.

As someone already said, you forgot Gen X. When I ask someone to open a command/terminal window, they have no clue what I’m talking about.

Insert I was born into this meme.

It's all perspective lol, how many of us would last a week logging...with out all the modern tech?

Or car mechanics, might not care how the fancy cloud works, but can talk about engines all day long.

The way I see it, we've all got our niche and help each other out with what we dedicate our time to learning.

I literally just fixed a zoomers laptop last night. Lol

Gen X are also pretty tech savvy. Let's not pretend like they didn't pave the way for us millennial to learn how to fix computers.

I say, as a tech retarded millennial, but fuck it, I'm right.
