I learned to code on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum machine!

You nailed it! Simple and short!
GREAT COMMENT!!!
I couldn't think of a better way to put it!
Well done!!!
Ahahah
It's a comparison between
Gen Y and Gen Z
and NOT Gen X and Gen Z!
It's people born after 1995 that are completely unprepared! Worst: they almost all tend to think they are prepared and that they even know more about it than previous gens (and because tech has evolved they actually accomplish more, but unfortunately they understand a LOT LESS about the underlyings of it!!! Naturally, there are exceptions! Few, however!)
I was in kind of a hurry and messed it up!!! (however, I do tend to think of Y as a transitional generation where late borns - think 92 or after - won't actually remember much of theirs "last analog generation")
So, I do agree with you!
I've tried to edit it but I'm no longer allowed to!
Thank you for pointing out my mistake!
Also, I'm kind of amazed you do remember the analog days! Being born in 87 makes you aware of it around 92 or 93! Past 95 things start to flip and after 00 all hell broke loose (what's analog again?!)!
Most people don't old up much to their 13yo memories! Keep that up! It really makes a difference "today"!
Still it does depend where you live in! This "generations" timeline work well in US cities! But if you change country or if you don't live in a city that timeline doesn't hold up that well! Tech arrives latter and the ways of life get altered later! That's why many people tend to identify more with the previous generations! Specially if you're born on a generation edge!
Yeah... scientists try to put all in one simple bag but the truth ain't that simple!
I totally disagree!!! Yes, everyone works with computer, phone, tablet, whatever, nowdays!
But does generation z "knows" about what a computer is?
Absolutely not!!!
While tech has advanced and graduated IT personal know more than previous generations (obviously!), all the rest, while they do know how to do their jobs, they know nothing about computers!!! They are pretty much like everyone else that didn't know what a computer was in generations x and previous!!!
However, contrary to previous generations, because they do interact with the tech, they represent a higher security risc for them and for others!
... Because they know nothing about it!!!
It's like giving a box of matches to a neanderthal in the middle of the woods...
Almost everyone in the "Gen x and previous" that interacted with the tech, did know what they were doing (past the initial learning phase)!!!
This does not happen after gen x!
It's surely the most feature full audio player for linux (maybe even windows...)
And to think people need to lie and create stories with the sole purpose of shaming the church when it actually has true stories like this! (it was other times, nonetheless!)
it just shows the level of culture of those who create the lies...
(do notice, however, that wikipedia is a terrible source for history! Very biased in general. better to redirect to brittanica (E.g.: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cadaver-Synod ) or other trustful source)
