I don't think so. The Home PC generation is way more technically literate than the generation after that grew up with the smartphone, where the elementary interaction has been reduced to just three basic steps that always work: 1) lift and look at phone 2) swipe finger up 3) press the dopamine er - Instagram - button

Most people born in the nineties and before definitely struggle with computers - maybe not the academics in your circle, but anyone not exposed to or interested in technology.

I spent a while working in tech support for small to medium businesses, and boy, did those people have trouble to understand the basic interaction with their computers. Instead of learning the paradigms and applying them to general situations, they would memorise where on the screen to click, in which order.

You’re uncharitable view of generation Z is pretty much proven wrong if that is your assumption on what you can do on Instagram, though. Looks like a classic „my generation was the last good one, everyone else born after is stupid and lazy!“

Someone born in the 90s is now in their 20s-30s.

> what you can do on Instagram,

Lol. Err what can you do on Instagram that is a demonstration of deep technical understanding?
