    100% agree.

    I’m 50 years old and I am the IT guy for people of all ages. Not because I am part of some gifted generation that understands computers, but because I have a genuine interest and took the time to learn these things.

    My 16yo son also has a keen interest in computers and I am passing on my knowledge where I can.

    I somewhat feel that attributing computer knowledge to a generational thing in some way diminishes the effort and time it took to get the knowledge and experience that I do have.

    You don’t have to have hung around with Henry Ford to be a car guy, or Nikola Tesla to be an electrician.
