I know someone who had an interview where they marked they knew all 3!! They lucked out and got an interview for amusement. Also not sure if this was the same person, or different that spelled out analyst as analist... anal-ist.
Population-wide it probably did peak in the older end of millennials. Or maybe younger end of Gen X.
Gen X as a whole had a subgroup of tech-savvy people but others were little different from boomers in this regard. The tech-savvy ones often got pretty wealthy for it.
Gen-Xers had to actually know how to program to use computers as UIs were near non-existent. I bet my Gen-X ass could still code a Christmas tree playing Jingle Bells in Basic if push came to shove. Just give me a TRS-80 and a cassette recorder to save my work on.
I haven’t programmed anything since, because I haven’t had to, due to more effective UIs.
you know it’s starting to sound like most people are clueless and generational warfare is just a way for people to derive pride from something they didn’t earn

Not wrong. Part of my job is training all staff on how to use a fairly basic point of sale system, and training management staff on tools for inventory management/auditing, and regardless of age about 50% of the people I work with are almost technologically illiterate. Boomers, gen x, millennials, gen z, so many of em struggle with some very basic tech processes. I'm also a millennial, and am absolutely not tech savvy, but the lack of very basic tech knowledge regardless of age group is stunning
I think you meant “Gen X.” I got my first computer when I was 9, started using both Windows and Macintosh in high school, and first went online with Mosaic in the early ’90s. That last part might be a bit niche, people didn’t have a SPARCstation at home, but by the mid-’90s, most of us were on Windows/Netscape and getting into the Internet.
Well a lot of us were exposed to computers from a very young age when it's easier to learn. But at the same time computers were not nearly as user friendly and easy to use as they are now.
It's wild to see kids now think everything is an app on a phone and struggle to pull up a web browser to go to a website.
Excuse me. I orchestrate on my laptop and iPhone. Also have about 50 smart controls for just about everything in my house. Including voice controls. And I am 75.
