The computer literacy of the younger generations is also alarming. While they're pretty intuitive about using an app's advertised features, they don't seem interested in "exploring" computers and their capabilities like slightly older people.

What I'm saying is that the ability to convert to PDF lies exclusively with Millennials

I just had this exchange with my few years younger girlfriend who counts as a zoomer:

Me: So go into the Canon app and select from there the file you want to print

Her: ...

Me: (showing on the phone) So go there, and now just browse for the file.

Her: uhh...

Me: Where did you save the file?

Her: I don't know.

Me: Uh, so where is it?

Her: In the PDF app

She's really smart, she uses Linux, she laughs about some of her same age and younger friends not having a clue about files and folders and stuff but phone is where this happens hah

She uses Linux but mostly out of dislike of Windows and not because she's tech enthusiasts. I'm her on-premises tech support for the system
