It's gonna be really funny when all us millenials die and the tech infrastructure evaporates.
What age do we think they'll be set back to? Pre industrial? Bronze?
My prediction seems extreme but don't forget that while books continue to exist, the average adult born after 2000 would rather die than read one.
It won't evaporate, there are plenty of IT folks among youth.
It doesn't make sense to characterize users by age brackets - it's not that millenials are predominantly well-versed.

I was always fascinated by the Middle Ages... The idea that you could live in the ruins of a civilization more advanced than your own is really interesting.
Skipped gen z, but I know my gen z folk are barely a step above alpha but and below millennials

They didn't have to learn what irq is the hard way and I am so thankful for the ability to read and edit bootloaders and ini files with no guardrails and error diode manual pages for giving me barely enough clues to learn from the ground up

Fortunately my kid is always going to have his own Linux desktop at home. Even though the hardware is older than he is, the PC still runs better than most Windows machines I've used recently.
I commented elsewhere that his school laptop (for 2nd grade, 8 years old) is at least a lightweight Windows PC. And while Windows is much more relevant to the PC & professional world than chromebooks or iPads, it's still important to not get pigeonholed into that one proprietary thing.
