Why do you think "many" come to you with all of these skills? Home-schooling is more common than ever. Most homeschoolers we met were also restricted to older or no tech... Even no tech seems to be better than consumption focused devices.

It is far preferable to teach old relatives, who have never touched a computer, how to do basic things than it is to try to introduce a better or faster or freer way to those who have already been exposed to the officially ordained Microsoft or Apple way of doing things that should be simple.

I really doubt homeschooling has much to do with it. Some subset of every gen is good with tech.

The one homeschool kid Im working with this semester is terrified to use the telephone. Their entire experience in home school education was largely sitting in virtual classrooms
