but gen z is not tech savvy. They can use a browser. and watch youtube. They never advance past that stage
I think for the most part they are just "good" at using mainstream social medias nothing really more
You would think they know how to use a browser but in reality they only use apps. TikTok being their preferred search engine speaks volumes.

Man look at millennials turning into boomers at record pace
"back in my day we did things properly, now all these damn kids... etc etc"
it's not becoming boomers. It's about rarely meeting one who knows that, for example, wifi is not the internet. I'm not asking for detailed tech knowledge. But getting a blank face if asked something as simple as "where did you save the file?" or replying with "in the gallery/google photos" means you are not tech savvy. these are the absolute basics.
What's your sample size, do you actually talk to many gen z
If you asked them where they saved a photo on a smartphone they're not going to tell you a filepath because that's not how people use smartphones. I probably couldn't tell you where photos are stored physically on my phone without going out of my way to find that info
Also Google photos is a valid answer to that question because the file is saved in Google photos, just because it's cloud storage doesn't make it not storage. In that case local storage is basically just a cache anyway
So not tech savvy?
because that's not how a phone is used.
But it is how any phone/desktop/laptop pollworks. So you're proving my point. Most can't even tell if the file they want is on the device in the first place, if they use stuff like cloud backups. To those people, the file is "in google". Not tech savvy

They aren't the only ones to have noticed this issue.
"Where did you save the file" isn't typically asked in the context of a smart phone. Maybe on Android more so than iOS.
