I'm a little too young for those 
Although I did own a Commodore 64 for a brief period in de 90's.
Too young to do anything more than insert the floppy, type the one command I had learnt (and have forgotten by now) and play a game

They are not - companies dumbed down technology and the older generation never had the chance to learn and teach it.
Plus, computer technology is the closest thing to pure reasoning barring Mathematics, and that is and has been the major obstacle ever. You'd think that after the greek we'd be math-savy and isntead...

via whatsapp of course.
That is how all the kids do it.
One young employer requested a serial number off a desktop from me.
I duly emailed the answer right away.
Few minutes later whatsapp from him: "can take photo and reply it back to me."
I replied "just emailed the number to you."
His reply, "I know, saw it, u sent the photo yet? is yr phone camera good quality?"
Sigh, where did we go wrong? (Apart from the procreating?)
Sin tack ear lol

The young generation are pretty stu[id when it comes to real technology. OK they can blue tooth a phone to an amp and set up a play lst but ask them what mallware is and they havent a clue (litterally had this with my nephew yesterday).

What's mallware? Something used in a shopping center?

What ages constitute the "young generation"? Because I think the 27 year old founder and CEO of MalwareBytes would disagree with you on this point.

Of course there are exceptions in every field. I still agree with the parent post however. Based on my own observations, I'd say the general rule is that most kids today are NOT any more tech savvy than their own parents were at that age, because an awful lot are only exposed to consumption devices such as smartphones and tablets. That's a regression IMO.

The older generation is worse, as expected. At a neighborhood Christmas party a couple of months ago the neighbor charged with keeping the subdivision contact list was frustrated that she couldn't get it to format/print correctly. Someone mentioned that I worked with computers so she gave me the 16 page printout and asked me to fix it.  Of course I'll claim that I just forgot!

You should write back and say "I have a {3} for you too, you {6} {7}!!!"
