I guess that gets rid of the generation that wants to install new social media apps but doesn't know how to google for things.

.... I don't know that thats really a generation.

It's not like there's a big divide in generations... you go to a high school, there's people in an age range, and you can very well teach someone who is one year younger than you how to use something. Rinse and repeat.

I don’t believe that is the common usage of the term generation.

A generation typically involves a period of time at least as long as the organism takes to reach sexual reproductive age.

You are right, I completely misunderstood what he meant.
