Yeah. Late gen x to late millennial seems to be the sweet spot for understanding how technology works.

I don't think that's necessarily the right way to look at it. We understand computers very well, but desktop computers are not the end-all be-all of technology. What is happening here happened in Japan before because they did the leap straight to smart devices well before the west with computers outside of offices being a very expensive and nerdy niche hobby. Their proficiencies lie in other technologies in which we fall behind as our parents typically do for technologies that we know.

Millennials think it's them , because they learned how. Gen X knows, because they wrote it.

i disagree. Training boomers is easier because they know what computers are. Zoomers often see computers as "web browsing machines" or "gaming machines"

For fuck's sake, give us 2005-2007 kids a microgeneration. We're like late zillennials.
