Yes, but knowing how to install a toilet the difficult way (instead of hiring a plumber) was replaced by knowing how to install a program the difficult way (via a command line instead of an installer).

Now, Zoomers aren't stupid or tech illiterate, I have a Zoomer friend and she's more tech literate than I am. The issue is that installing a program the hard way has been replaced with minimizing your carbon and digital footprints. That's not the skill of a super predator, its the skill of prey. We've been reduced to prey for the shareholders of corporations.
