    Not all of Gen Z are tech illiterate. Some of us used computers before iPads and smartphones. I used Windows XP and 7 long before I ever got a smartphone.

      There are some parts of Gen Z that can actually tear stuff apart and actually fix systems, but those are the nerds (which also includes me) that care enough to actually learn stuff. The majority is quite tech illiterate

        I am Gen Z, I can copy paste commands from online forums into the terminal, then proceed to fuck shit up. 🫠

        (Don't ask me to type commands from memory, I'd rather use windows spyware than deal with command line torture)

        This is how I am for the part (including most people who aren’t computer enthusiasts or CS degree holders). I know my limits on what I am willing to do with command lines because I don’t have time to memorize all that shit.

          But I'm Generation Z and I have to update my mom's Linux Mint laptop because she can't pay attention when I show her.

          I wrote a shell script my mom just has to click on to run the updates and she still can't figure it out. The filename is literally "ClickHereToRunUpdatesMom.sh"

          I'm also Gen Z

            You're completely wrong, but if you want to confuse the word even more, go ahead.

              Just ask an AI to fix it.

              YOUR COMPUTER NEEDS AN RTX 5090 SUPER RUNNING THE SKYNET CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICE TO WORK PROPERLY.

                  Millenial here, its actually the same for us. Most millenials dont actually know how to fix a computer, either.

                    So am I! I guess we are more relatable to millennials. 10 years ago, people would call me one so whatever.

                        Yeah?

                        You don't have to be born from '46 to '64 to be a boomer, you have to act like a boomer to be a boomer. Being fed a boomer media/social diet growing up tends to make people grow up into boomers.

                            You're conflating and confusing a term that has existed since the 60's to describe a time span, with complex societal, economical effects on peoples mindset today.

                            Your inability to describe and explain the things you want to argue is the issue. Repeating the word again and again is not helping.

                                        You are rare and these stereotypes are mostly false. Most people in every generation can’t fix a computer. Maybe the only slight echo of truth is that during the millennial childhood and youth, at least in terms of raw numbers, home computers peaked as the main “tech” children were exposed to, so there might be a little more people who are not professionals, but have some extra comfort with them. Still, that’s a stretch.

                                          You said the word boomer 6 times and you think that makes you look smart. Boomer means boomer, what a genius.
