Is it true that teenagers today have weaker computer literacy than teenagers of previous generations?
Partly. The retrieved items do not directly measure computer literacy across generations. One 2010s-era study reports only 75% of teenagers in Zanzibar/Burkina Faso had basic computer skills, while a 2020 review notes today's teens have more access to electronic media than any previous generation; a 1985 commentary claims electronic media displace teenagers' mental development. None compares computer literacy of today's teenagers with that of earlier generations.
