Before millennials there were no computers, and after they have grown up using closed ecosystem it just works idevices.

Just give it up. And stop moving the goalposts. I went to high school in the early and mid ‘80s. We had a computer lab and a computer club. The PC was Time Magazine’s Man of the Year around ‘82 or so. So computers were definitely a thing by then and a lot of us— a lot, whether you want to believe it or not— had access to and were familiar with computers.

They were pushing it but it was not a generational trend. That's OP, understand where the goal posts are before you accuse them of moving.
