This is especially funny because kids these days have no fucking clue about computers. When my generation (gen X) were kids, we did all the tech support for our parents. Now that we're older, we do all the tech support for our kids.

With the exception of knowing how to search for something on youtube, the new generation's tech skills are quite poor. They know how to use a tablet, they know how to use a phone, but that's it. Don't expect help using a computer, don't expect any knowledge on what lies beneath the covers. They're predictably clueless given that we've targeted technology for the lowest common denominator. The old paradigm of kids knowing more than their parents about tech is a thing of the past.
