The average gen-z person knows more about computers than the average millennial.
Lol. Lmao, even.
Are you sure you have "gen-z" correct? We're all adults now
I spent 8 years doing tier 2 IT support with a tier 1 helpdesk staffed primarily by gen-z who were just entering the work force. Yes, I'm very sure.
Your generation fucking sucks at tech.
From experience, they mainly know how to navigate, not troubleshoot.
Also, bold statement. Millennials had to learn on computers that weren't always user friendly. It didn't always "just works."
You're talking about people that could be as young as 14. Do you really think a 14 year old knows what a filesystem is? What a CPU architecture is? Knows how to clone a project from GitHub and build it? Could they identify RAM slots on a motherboard? Could they install an OS? Do they know what a subnet is?
Then you run into the problem of generalizing about a wide spectrum of ages. I'm older genZ, and have experience with all of these things as part of hobby projects and my career. Obviously the iPad kids haven't.
Boomers are reliably feeble with technology across their entire age spectrum. Gen Alpha has very few experienced enough because of their circumstances and age gap.
when i was that age (for the things that existed in your list), I did. I knew that stuff.
Yes..? I was 14 when I learned how filesystems worked in the mid 90, installing dos6.0, win3.1, and doom wads lol. I grew up in an analog world before that, there wasnt and internet I could fall back on for support, it was a ridiculously expensive appliance and if I broke it I had better figure out how to fix it again before my mother figured out I fucked something up.
A 14 year old today, I would imagine, would have grown up in a world filled with /bin and /var and /lib folders to explore (and break....)
