You'd be surprised.

The thing is they tend to be in the same avenues as where you'd encounter tech illiterate people of every other generation too.

While there is a degree to which there's age barriers, it was more a thing going from no computers at all to computers.

Nowadays age means less in terms of tech competency than things like socioeconomic background, professional background, and general interest.

Sports kids in HS who grow up to go into a nepotistic position at a construction business doing sales have roughly the same tech competency if they were born in 1970 or 2000.
