Somehow, millennials ended up being the only generation that at least kind of knows how to use computers.
Naah. There is plenty of Gen X, Y, Z who know and plenty of Millenials who dont.
Its just if you wanted to "do stuff with computers" you had to develop some understanding back then.
Today you can "do stuff" like gaming much easier out of the box. So not everyone who "does stuff" knows his way around.
In the office most colleagues of all generations just know how to do their specific things, mostly in MS Office products.
Of god…. The number of colleagues that their WHOLE job depends on MS Word and they never heard of "Insert page break"………
Then they complain when inserting an image breaks their whole document…….

To be fair, I've had Word absolutely freak out with images even in the simplest documents so I don't blame your colleagues, even without the page breaks
The difference being that a lot of millennials know how to figure out how to do stuff on computers by doing basic research. I've found a lot of my Gen-z friends to be more helpless in that regard.
I will use my powers for evil, just to be smug.
Might as well get something out of being the last adult generation before the collapse.
I was probably using computers when you were still in your mom's ovaries. My first one was an Apple ][+ in 1982.
