    Yes. Generation Z rarely uses computers and knows nothing about them, compared to other generations. Many don’t even know what a file hirarchy is because their device doesn’t have a proper file system for users.

    The old users die and no new user is replacing them.

      I disagree. In Gen Z, there are those that use computers regularly and those that don’t. There is a larger gap between clueless and tech-savvy. But the one’s that do use a computer are genrally more tech-savvy than other generations, while the majority of other generations’ computer users are just getting by with minimal knowledge (how files are organized, some specific software like office and not much more).

      Start asking people about PC components or programming (don’t count those that learned it university or at their jobs) and you will quickly realize that your best bet is gen Z.
