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.

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.
