arstechnica.com — A new UK report on the habits of the "Google Generation" finds that kids born since 1993 aren't quite the Internet super-sleuths they're sometimes made out to be. For instance, are teens better with technology than older adults? Perhaps, but they also "tend to use much simpler applications and fewer facilities than many imagine."

I think the peak was definitely late 70s to early 80s. I was born in 88 and didn't have a computer till I was about 10. While I am intelligent enough to not break a computer, and am smart enough to fix it when it does break I am not quite coding competent. I can probably make sense out of code, but I am not really able to code it myself.I did notice that most of my classmates though weren't interested in computers. So it was pretty dead in the generations after the mid 80s.

Oh yes I could not agree more. Sometimes I am surprised to see how naive and poor literate they are.
