agreed. MOST people don't know much about technology. I'm 44 and teach at a community college. I have 17 year olds (taking dual credit classes for high school) and 60 year olds. Most of them don't know how to use computers well and I can't assume that someone will or won't because of age. The problems they have do tend to be generational - younger people tend to do most things on phones and don't know how to use a mouse and keyboard-based computer efficiently (so few of them ever maximize the browser window. I don't know how they work that way) while older people tend to have problems with things like getting connected to the school wifi.

I cringe at the tech issues I see daily regardless of age. They are mostly small things and not earth shattering but it proves that "digital natives" are not computer experts.

Example:I give them a link to something and I've gotten in the habit of making sure to just post news.ycombinator.com and not https://news.ycombinator.com because so many of them don't know you normally don't need to type https:// or a www.
