I guess I'm biased, I have a lot of boomer relatives and parents of friends that are still working in tech. In my world, it's a lot of them.

No, a very tiny number of them were.

The following might be true, I also know a lot of younger people in every generation that don't know tech. I mean most humans don't want to know that stuff unless they have to. Maybe that's confirming that Gen x and Millennials had to know.

Gen Z grew up with tech just basically works, and hides all the complicated stuff behind 17 submenus and automatic installs. I know plenty of gen Z who literally don’t know what a file path is.
