Like year the political polarization between "generations" is going to shrink, but the analysis that Gen Z Men are overwhelmingly Hitler Youth going around is absurd. Like yeah there are young conservatives, but many of their left wingers are more radical than Occupy Wall Street (and even Bernie). Gen Z is going to react differently to material circumstances than did because they have already lived through the destruction of the American Dream or whatever we call it, while Millennials watched it decline.

I do think it should be noted that it does seem like Millennials are more computer literate than Zoomers.

I'm a millennial who works IT in a building with A LOT of zoomer workers and I can tell you right now they (anecdotally) have zero idea how computers work lol.

Everything has been made so easy that they simply hit button and it works. I was crawling around on DOS as a kid and had to figure it out for even basic literacy. None required nowadays. I've had people unplug scanners from computers and then not understand that the USB connection wasn't for charging a wireless device. That it needs the cord to transmit data lol that's why you can't remove the cord from the scanner.

Most computer literate generation is xennials and computer literacy declines until you get to computer illiterate boomers and zoomers.
