IMO around 2006 is when you see the decline. It’s the delineation between kids who started with computers, and kids that started with phones or tablets.
This is why my kids get to use the PC in the living room. Wireless keyboard and mouse, gcompris from boot until they are a bit older.
Though I am thinking of moving it all onto the htpc so its JF, emulators, gcompris, etc, but I haven’t decided how I want to do that yet. I was thinking of doing NFC for login, but my youngest is creative and would figure out he could grab mom’s phone to get game access.
Computer literacy is definitely down in gen z and alpha.

TBD. And a huge digression.
Gen Alpha are like 5 years old, so why would they?
The oldest members of Gen Alpha would be 14, turning 15 this year…
