I'd like to see whether a bunch of people born in 1985-1990 understand computers enough to:
(1) download a zipped file of their choice to their Downloads folder;
(2) go to their Documents folder and create a subfolder named "[zipname]_content" ... if the zipped file was "abc.zip", then the created folder should be "abc_content";
(3) extract the zipped file's contents into their newly created folder;
(4) open a program, navigate to the folder, and open the extracted contents in that program.
I suspect that this Xennials subgroup is too narrowly drawn when thinking about computer skills. I know that most people at work younger than about 30 years old cannot do the above. I am not sure whether 30-35 year olds can do so.
I do agree that there was a big change in child rearing between 1977 kids and 1987 kids. ( For example, #sonOne and his friends could get on their bikes and go for a ride together; #sonTwo and his friends were always accompanied by someone's parent. There were also changes in how kids got to and from school. )
