I blame the attempt to make devices user-friendly. Convenience kills skill.

Gen Z is app savvy, not tech savvy. Very very different.
The problem is non-savvy people classifying connecting a Bluetooth or wifi as complicated.

Gen X graphic designer here. I did not properly learn how to type on a QWERTY keyboard, but have been exposed to it for many years so I know how to type on it. Hasn't ever been a problem not typing fast.
The number of people i'm seeing use caps lock instead of shift to do capital letters have been increasing. "Oh you can do that?"
What goes around…apparently. My 57 year old co-worker does the same thing and it drives me batty.
There was this one kid I knew from school many years ago who used the caps lock to make capitals claiming it was easier cause you didn't have to hold it down. Like bro… just use sticky keys

I learned to touch type quickly mostly out of necessity to communicate quickly in online games before voice chat was a thing.
Their parents don't even give them PCs, how would they even learn?
