They are not tech-savvy, we had to dumb down technology so boomers and gen Z'ers could use it.

Well, we dumbed it down for the boomers, but never trained the kids.

Because they didn't need training. Or that's what we all thought. They were born with an internet that was basically Google. We needed to learn command line, they needed to learn how to press one button.

And it really is that way... Until they need to do something more complex and realize they can't.
