This is the “Nobody who isn’t a Boomer knows how to fix a car” tier meme material. Just a tired lie that keeps getting recycled as a meme because it’s clickbait for the snobs.
Yeah I am GenX, and me & the kid who is GenZ are tech support in my family, she is by far my most technologically adept offspring. One millennial kid is hopeless, says “technology hates me”, the other just a low-technology sort of person, but fine with computer for work. And the youngest expects everything to just work, which seems to work out for them. Husband is culturally a boomer, LOL but also just expects everything to work, but it doesn’t work out as well for him.
Only the GenZ one likes to mess with the computer and likes to know how to fix problems, and she is our pirate as well, the mistress of forbidden content - if something is not on the streaming she can often find it for us.
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.
Am i a rare GenZ or do i just hang around with unicorns because we are all active in IT. Me programming nog hardware but still
