I feel like the people I interact with irl don’t even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.

    Conveniently left out the relevant part:

    However, they (they as in Gen Z) are far less (less as in compared with the Millennials) adept at understanding how to use technology to create useful solutions to their business challenges — for example, using Outlook to send e-mail, Word to prepare documents, Excel to analyze data and PowerPoint to communicate through presentations.

    This, togheter with the previous paragraph which you mentioned, is talking about a direct comparison of Gen Z and Millennials and it directly states Gen Z is less tech savvy than Millennials.

    This study does not say at all that tech literacy has been declining.

    But it does, like multiple times, even on paragraphs you quoted.

    I provide you with multiple sources explaining how tech literacy is declining, you keep saying they don’t compare. What do you think less means? What do you think declining means? It means they are comparing.

    Try wasting someone else’s time lmao

      “However, they (they as in Gen Z) are far less (less as in compared with the Millennials) adept at understanding how to use technology”

      You just added in the “they as in gen z” and the “less than millennials part” into the text. The text is referring to both millennials and gen z at this part in the text and it is comparing them to their older counterparts which would be gen x and boomers lol. There is also no source for this claim it’s just what some guy thinks. No actual study or data is provided.

      The article does not compare gen z and millennials. Show me the unedited quote. Of them doing that.

      Show me the quotes where it says tech literacy is declining. Like I said, you’re making abstractions based off of vibes. None of your sources provide any data showing tech literacy declining.
