It's absolutely a belief and it used to be true. For millennials especially it was true. We grew up with technology around us, but they required effort from the user to make them work. These created a lot of self-learned resourceful technologically literate people.
Modern technology almost all wants to prevent you from messing with them. They function out of the box and limit your ability to modify them. This has created a lot of people who can't understand how technology works beyond the user interface. They're great at using a touch-screen, but they don't understand what the device is doing beyond that.
Millennials aren't zoomers though. The original statement was specifically about zoomers, and idk anyone who thinks they're good with technology, and from what I've seen, they are not.
Gen X and older millennials are the only generation who knows stuff on average. We had to teach our parents, and then we had to teach our kids (who don't care to learn). We're sandwich meat!
That's why I worded it the way I did. There's still a sentiment that younger people should be better with technology, since they've interacted with it their whole life also. Their interaction was much different than ours though.
