Genz getting worse at technology use

Supports the idea that the Heroes endow technology (where the Nomad hacker ethos is more around "liberty", and Boomer tech having more vision (with the rants about Agile methods and object-oriented design).

Assuming the '03-'05 range is correct, they are the leading edge of the neo-Artists -- three of whom are my grandchildren.  From limited personal experience, those youth cohorts (and younger, I assume) have no need to understand tech.  It's getting almost to the point of being self-supporting, requiring little in the way of understanding at that level to use or benefit from it.  Instead., the focus is on the product of tech -- Tik-Tok being the most popular and least technically involving.  

When books were first produced, the technical level needed to print them was not lost on the book's readers, even though it was not understood by them.  Today, printed material is ubiquitous, and no one gives it a thought.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
