Gen X that think Gen Zs are tech savvy are probably the people that the actual Gen X nerds shake their head at when we have to teach them how to put an URL in the address bar instead of searching for Gmail and clicking on the link every. goddamn. time.

Yes, as a Gen X I'm sometimes surprised how tech illiterate some of my generation are...

Then I remember when we were kids and people like me using computers were seen as weird geeks and "normal people" wouldn't get close to a computer.

Ngl I hate most of the new domain options. Was that site a .com or .net was fine. Now you have a dozen common options and many sites have a silly name. Look at lemmy itself for great examples of it.
