First: It's been the boomers who invented computers, the internet etc. Second: The average millennial knows little about tech. Give them an Android phone instead of an iPhone or a PC with MacOS or Linux and they'll start looking confused at you. And tell you the way it was before was better. Try to explain to people why something is or isn't necessary or about privacy and how our personal data gets handled and used. Most people are ignorant. Many people also have other hobbies than computers.
Boomers may have invented computers and the Internet but it's the Gen X and Millennials who used it most, developed it into what it is now. All of my millennial friends are just as comfortable on a computer as they are on an android phone. You definitely have the Millennial thing mixed up with Gen Alpha or Z.
I think you have your generations confused. Millennials are pretty good with tech. Gen-Z is clueless.
