Do you think millennials who grew up with the early Internet and home computers will be as bad with future technology as boomers are with current technology?

My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.

I work in schools and kids aged between 5-12 are clueless with computers, they just poke the screen because they have no idea how to use a mouse and keyboard.
If the computer isn't switched on they don't have a clue how to switch it on, just keep switching monitors on and off lmao
Sure, that's hilarious, but I'm pretty sure I remember actually being taught to turn on a computer (and monitor) when we were being taught about them in general. What do you think these kids should do, just know things?
Well it's not so much their fault but the one of their parents and society around them. That's why you can find Gen Z'ers very capable of programming and handling a GNU/Linux distribution, while others couldn't even be bothered with simple operating system concepts exposed to them on their iPhones.
Reading comments like these is making me feel better and better about my practice so far of giving my young kids access more to a Linux desktop than to a phone or a tablet.
