psud,

It’s not all that bad. I’m sure there are as many youth keen to learn computers and they have easy access to all the tools they need to develop knowledge and skill

It’s just as we have become more knowledgeable, more capable, the difference between us and the normal people seems incredible.

But put us in an area needing different specialist knowledge and we’ll struggle like they do with computer technical stuff

We speak jargon. They don’t know the words, or if they do they use them wrong.

Also it sucks for us in IT work; when you are in an agile team and the manager two levels up doesn’t understand agile they do things like break up high performing teams (mine had been a team for four years - from the day the organisation decided to test agile) to share the people around so they can teach the others how to be high performing

Had they read anything about agile, they would know that longevity of a team is a good predictor for performances — but they wouldn’t read about agile, it’s an IT technical thing
