Gen Z and beyond are more computer illiterate than old folks

[Sheikh Google]

Has anyone else noticed how computer illiterate Gen Z and beyond are. The rise of Apps and how simple they are beyond pressing buttons has meant that the art of using a computer is genuinely lost to this generation. I mean simple things like how to use google to search for things feels like navigating the seven seas to these Gen Z. I blame how easy smartphones are to use.

I always thought it was Gen Z that was the most computer literate since we grew up with them

you're right. Besides the"on" button, keyboard, and basic function buttons, I don't know shit. My literacy for tech is through the ground. If something goes wrong, I scream for help

Nah I feel like it's a misconception. Being able to use a phone and apps designed to be as simple as possible because of their UI doesn't make them computer illiterate. Ask them to solve a problem with the help of a computer and watch them struggle.

Maybe Gen Alpha, since they grew up with apps that made things easy to use. it was only late 2000s/early 2010s that these kind of devices came out

my mother gets confused as to why I'm so illiterate when I grew up with tech I mean only know how to press buttons on screen. When ever she got a tech issue, she say "you guys grew up with this, come fix it" I just sit there clueless

Maybe if you knew how to do a basic google search instead of scrolling on tiktok you'd be more computer illiterate.

Exactly this. They are incredibly computer illiterate

i noticed with relatives born in the late 2000s. they can use apps where you use buttons. but computer literacy is lower than the 1990-2000 generation.

They're the most tech literate but when it comes to desktop computers they're cavemen.
