Someone said that Millennials are the first generation to have to teach Tech to both their (boomer) parents and their (GenZ) children.
There's an analogy to Cars. Boomers grew up tinkering on cars, changing the oil manually, wrenching in the garage on a Sunday, etc etc... But by the time Millennials were driving, car technology just "worked", so while most millennials maybe have some vague awareness that there's a jack under the floorboard of the trunk, they've never changed a tire (and probably never will).
Same thing with Tech. Millennials grew up with personal computers that were "Beta" products: expensive, buggy, and slow. Lots of times you had to "hack" them just to make them work properly.
Now all of that's been ironed out, and most Tech just "works." Gen Z kids never had to install a sound card or upgrade their RAM, and they probably never will.
