My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

    Yes. Because I already take tech support calls/chats from them while working at an ISP. There was a very limited sweet spot where SOME kids became computer literate. Then smartphones happened. It’s all been dumbed down again. People call the Internet “WiFi” and have little to no understanding of how anything works.

    “I’m working from home on my MacBook Air!”

    Absolute madness. Trust me. They’re mostly very dumb already.

      Seems like people born from mid 70s to mid 90s are peak technology nerds. Before and after… not so much. And with current trend of dumbing everything down it will stay this way

        Exactly, the sweet spot. That’s probably very accurate. 1975-1995
