Conveniently left out the relevant part:

However, they (they as in Gen Z) are far less (less as in compared with the Millennials) adept at understanding how to use technology to create useful solutions to their business challenges — for example, using Outlook to send e-mail, Word to prepare documents, Excel to analyze data and PowerPoint to communicate through presentations.

This, togheter with the previous paragraph which you mentioned, is talking about a direct comparison of Gen Z and Millennials and it directly states Gen Z is less tech savvy than Millennials.

This study does not say at all that tech literacy has been declining.

But it does, like multiple times, even on paragraphs you quoted.

I provide you with multiple sources explaining how tech literacy is declining, you keep saying they don’t compare. What do you think less means? What do you think declining means? It means they are comparing.

Try wasting someone else’s time lmao

Nowhere have they been compared

less equipped

Can’t do the reading for you…

This stuff has been talked about for at least 5 years. Here’s two studies that have come to the same conclusions. By The University of Toledo and the ICILS EU.

“The assumption is that because Gen Z and even millennials spend a considerable amount of time on technology that they are technology savvy,” Irish said, according to WorkLife.

“This is a huge misconception. Sadly, neither watching TikTok videos nor playing Minecraft fulfills the technology brief.”

Unfortunately, Gen Z may be less equipped for the future of technical work than we think. The key reason is that traditional education is not preparing the new generation for a digitally-driven job market. A recent study from Dell, which surveyed 15,000 Gen Z members, found that 37% of them feel that schools are not adequately preparing them for the demands of a digital world. Furthermore, 56% have received minimal to no digital skills education.

Across the nation, the basic skills of reading and comprehension have been devalued over recent years, intellectual curiosity among younger generations has grown weaker, and AI is rapidly replacing human thought.

No need to be an asshole about it. Their point about the next generation becoming less technological literate has been widely discussed and isn’t even a controversial opinion.

Here’s a few sources discussing this
