I can't help but feel that a lot of this is deliberate, the end result of decades of dismantling the public education system to further divide kids into the upper class in private schools, religious fundamentalists in home schooling, and everyone else abandoned to keep the population uneducated and in worse economic precarity.
Somebody please tell me that the kids are alright 
No it peaked with boomers. In my family the boomers are fine. Then, except for me gen xers and younger dont know a file system from their ass.
And, of the milenials i know only the wierd nerds know how to use a pc. Even in programing class. As in, "man you are suposedley a chemichal engeenier this is your computer dont tell me you dont know wich key is the exponentiation sing?"
This is why all the boomers were into q anon and 4 chan memes. I think it has to do with boomer entitlment, the same thing that makes them go out without a mask and spit in each othets faces, they feel they are the best and invincible and so they give these computer things a try and learn to use them because its not that hard.
You have a weird family and 4chan is mostly millennials
Yeah, like roofer said below, the old guard of 4chan users from the mid-2000s are mostly made up of millenials. I'm right on the border between millenial and zoomer, and I was around 10 in the days of the earliest 4chan memes.
