It seems like a kind of horseshoe thing where Boomers are computer illiterate because they weren’t around when they were growing up, while Zoomers are computer illiterate because they grew up primarily interfacing with technology via the simplified, corporate-approved mobile phone platforms. Gen X and Milliennials came of age when computers were still more of a Wild West.
Technically I’m the the first category, since personal computers have been around since before I was born and started going semi-mainstream before I was 15, but they didn’t really take off in popularity until I was in the second age category, so that one fits me the best.
