Let me guess: they're talking about Millennials, and are entirely forgetting about Gen X once again.
Gen X could write a program that'll make a floppy drive's loading noises play the Imperial March.

Or those of us from Gen Z that where born just at the cutoff and got tech acces at a way to young age.
*were *access *too
Yup, you're a Zoomer alright.
Honestly? Why do we let people who have no clue what's actually going on decide the generations?
Oregon Trail generation sounds great.
I'm in the Minecraft generation.
Don't know what the next generation would want to be called, but they're the iPad kids for sure.
Who?
For once they didn't forget gen X-- I think OP is about xennials

GenX can't use computers either.
Some can't. Computers weren't commonplace until many GenXers were in their 20s, so some never learned. Those that did learn often learned the deep magic.
The generation that grew up with ZX Spectrum, C64, Amiga etc knows how to use computers.
Fine. Gen X can't use modern computers.
The generation that made most of the websites and software associated with the internet?
The generation that used them to create the new generation of smart devices? Sure.
Hahaha its funny each time that happens.
My uncle is GenX and way smarter than my millennial ass. They paved the way for child free poppin off and being tech savvy with a normal tech free upbringing.
Anecdotal I know. But always funny how self centered us millenials can be thinking were the last normal generation.
Probably. But if I’m being generous, we’re really only talking about younger X and older millennials.
This always surprises me as I'm younger millennial and my Gen X dad always feels more technologically behind than me.
But it's funny because I'm only so into computers because of him as he had things like Windows 3.1 and 95 and 98 in our home from a young age and he even went to school for C++ but he doesn't really remember it (it got him an accounting gig) and his pursual of technology these days is pretty limited to pre-built stuff from Samsung and Sony than any real grasp of how it works. I struggle to get him to show even passing interest in something like Linux (like, I get liking Windows; you grew up with it: you're more comfortable with it. But not even curiosity, even if you'll never use it?).
Expert on Excel and OneNote (because it's his daily bread-and-butter) but probably would ask for my help on rotating a PDF.
What OP describes sounds much more aligned to my millennial peers than the bulk of Gen. X I know.
Yup!
I heard millennials can't even grow a proper long beard
Yea but our mustache game is unmatched by anyone pre-1920's.
Please don't attack like this... Ma kokoro, ma sole.
Punk kids can't even manage enough of an attention span to grow a Gentoo long beard!
