     @Nudhul I reckon it's more them not being exposed to those tools than them being significantly dumber than my generation. Since most of their experience with computers amounts to nothing more than touching icons on a tablet or phone, and they haven't been in a position where they had to learn to use a normal desktop computer, it's understandable that they don't know how to properly use them, just like I didn't magically know how to use old tech my parents used while I never had the need to and only ever interacted with when I went out of my way to do it.
     
     If anything this just highlights how retarded schools, teachers and their curriculum are because they are not teaching kids really useful skills. And the fact parents just hand tablets to their kids from a young age with cocomelon auto-playing doesn't help one bit.

     @Nudhul Not really. I teach some children from time to time and you see a lot of them are really smart, it's just that they don't care and they have no reason to care either. I get it since I'm on the same boat.
