The last game I got to the end of or the last game I bought?

Last game I beat was probably either Slime Rancher or Cyberpunk 2077, can’t recall which was most recent.

Last game I bought was Slime Rancher 2.

There are tech illiterate people in every generation, but they definitely seemed more prevalent in the boomer generation. In my experience it’s Boomers > Gen X > Zoomers > Millenials in terms of most to least technologically incompetent. Always suspected millennials are usually more comfortable with tech because they grew up with it, and it grew up with them.

For older generations, especially boomers, I figure they were more set in their ways and for many (but not all, obviously) it was hard to adapt. For Zoomers, I think it was just assumed that they’d just be inherently good so there were many things they were never actually taught (though many of them learned for themselves because they are nerds, which is pretty great if you ask me). Anyways, that’s my theory on generational tech literacy.

Sounds like a pretty accurate take to me.

Yeah, not being able to touch-type on a keyboard seems to be a skill many don’t develop/aren’t taught too. Basic stuff just gets skipped over because it’s just assumed young people are good with tech (probably a holdover from raising millennials)
