    I swear, many people are completely digitally illiterate despite being on the internet every day. Even choosing a server is already too hard for them.

      It’s actually a major, and documented, problem. Despite everyone born after 1995 being considered a digital native, more and more people don’t have any technical aptitude and are wholly reliant on digital support

        Yeah, I’m a Sys Admin during my day job and some of Gen Z are just as bad or worse than Boomer end users. I don’t get it.

          They grew up on iPads and the iPod Touch, and their family’s old phones. How much do they really use laptops or especially desktops? Maybe they use Google Docs and have never had to really look at their file structure or even understand it.

          They never had to learn. Apple and Google spent a shitload of money on UI and UX, so we’ve hit a point where babies, who cannot talk, can navigate a tablet. If that’s your version of the internet, your computer literacy goes way down.
