    Somehow, millennials ended up being the only generation that at least kind of knows how to use computers.

      Naah. There is plenty of Gen X, Y, Z who know and plenty of Millenials who dont.

      Its just if you wanted to “do stuff with computers” you had to develop some understanding back then.

      Today you can “do stuff” like gaming much easier out of the box. So not everyone who “does stuff” knows his way around.

      In the office most colleagues of all generations just know how to do their specific things, mostly in MS Office products.

        The difference being that a lot of millennials know how to figure out how to do stuff on computers by doing basic research. I’ve found a lot of my Gen-z friends to be more helpless in that regard.

      I was probably using computers when you were still in your mom’s ovaries. My first one was an Apple ][+ in 1982.
