Same with millennials, gen x, boomers... The prospect that a generation who grew up using technology would have an inherent understanding of how it works has proven empty.

Of all of them my experience is that younger gen x / older millennial are the most hands-on technically literate. Grew up in 80s 90s as home computers became main stream but required a good deal of tinkering. They currently form the body of 40-50 year old electrical engineers, senior devs and consultants. Not really in game development (where crazy hours are a young man's game), rather IT and business as a whole.
