Remember in the 90s, when teens were more tech savvy than adults, and everyone assumed that the savviest would just keep getting younger? Now it's 2017, and the people who were teens in the 90s are the most tech savvy generation and probably will be until they die.

Kids don't grow up with computers any more, they grow up with iPhones. If it's possible to learn to code on an iPhone, it's despite Apple's best efforts.

@mogwai_poet Back in our day, you had to have at least a very basic understanding of how computers and software worked to do more than the most basic of tasks. Things have advanced to the point that one no longer needs any real understanding of the backend to make things work. This is probably better, but it does mean people are less tech savvy even as we use tech more regularly – a seemingly counterintuitive outcome.
