Is there really such a difference? Older people tend find excuses to accuse younger people of being inferior. We're older people now. Perhaps we should be careful not to fall into that trap.
There is an opportunity for education that just shouldn't be assumed.
“Hey you are good with electronic devices that I had the same 20 years to understand as you, fix this other unrelated thing”
Means something very different when the users don't understand anything about the device they are using.
It isn’t about inferiority it is about understanding the baseline technical literacy and what areas should still be taught, just like they were taught to prior generations, instead of assuming there is a linear and continued proliferation of technical literacy. Its just a patch work.
