It's pretty weird experiencing a technology coming of age.
Like when I was a kid in the 80s, most people didn't have a computer—for kids now computers are some old technology like idk indoor plumbing feels for me.

I honestly think “natural” aptitude for computers is going to be a Gen X and Millenial thing.

Ya got that right!
My parents, in their 90s are *paranoid* about the internet! Won't touch it. Won't go near it. Don't want others to use it. Won't get cable TV because it "comes with internet."
Aaand, ...
They have email. And use it regularly. 🙄
They don't see the connection. Honestly! Not a clue.
