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.

    Imo it’s the opposite, millennials were in that period that you had to have certain computer knowledge to use technology. Today’s kids don’t use computers so much as they use phones and on the phones everything is super simplified for them compared to a 90s-2000s computer that we had to deal with. I think from here technology will only become easier to use to the point that new generations will actually have less technical knowledge compared to the previous generation.

      I know quite a few kids and early 20s who don’t even own a PC or laptop. They own phones and a TV but think PCs are only for school and work.
