Gen Z is app savvy, not tech savvy. Very very different.
There's a science fiction book series which name I cannot remember for the life of me but in there is a generation ship traveling from Earth to some other star system and it's been going for centuries.
No one really understands anymore how to operate any of the systems on the ship. They just know which buttons to press, but they have no real understanding of what it's actually doing.
A lot of app users seem to be like that. They can get the app to do what they want but they don't really understand why that's working or what other things the app could do.
