We now have a whole generation of teenagers that grew up with iPhones and I have seen exceptionally poor average technical ability.

When we were coming up you had to install modem drivers to get online. In windows 95... with no internet to check on a how-to.

Worse yet a misguided school district buying tablets instead of chromebooks, for example!
