If you took a 21 year old from today and transported them back to 1980, they would be completely lost and wouldn’t be able to figure out anything. The lack of critical thinking skills would make them completely useless in figuring things out.

Meanwhile, the 21 year old from 1980 transported to today, would be able to rely on their critical thinking skills and figure out the technology and be able to get around and survive just fine.

Then why did so many of the 35-45 year old Boomers struggle so much adopting and then keeping up with technology when the internet exploded in the mid to late 90's? Had they lost all of the critical thinking skills they had in their 20s?
