There's a whole new generation of tech illiterates being born with a smartphone up their asses. I feel that 80's kids peaked at tech literacy, then steadily declined from the mid 90s maybe.

I'd say 2000s was when it peaked.

Knowledge peaked in the 2000s, but those are the 80's and 90's kids. The ones born in the 2000s had an iPhone with 14 and know nothing...

Yup. People under the age of 25 don't even understand files or directories.

iPhones and Chromebooks have abstracted everything away.

Thankfully Chromebooks have very low popularity outside US
