Most kids are clueless with tech to be honest. Yes they know how to use it, but they have no idea how it works behind the scenes. This has pretty scary consequences on how they are easily manipulated or scammed.

Some of them are very smart, sure, but on average I'd say they are less tech savvy than Gen X and millennials who grew up at a time you couldn't use computers without some kind of knowledge of how it works (and smartphones didn't exist).

Right, I have to teach shortcuts to our young intern the exact same way as i had to do with my grandma. All the ui's are so smooth now that even a context menu is too much.
