Generation Z and Computer Skills Deficiency

Young people, particularly those from Generation Z, are reportedly struggling with basic computer skills necessary for the workplace due to their reliance on smartphones for most tasks. While many young individuals are proficient in using mobile applications for social media and gaming, they often lack familiarity with traditional computing functions like using Microsoft Office and other essential software. A significant portion of underage internet users in China primarily access the internet through their mobile phones, limiting their exposure to desktop computers, which may explain this skill gap. Educational institutions are increasingly adopting mobile-friendly platforms, further reducing the emphasis on developing basic computer skills in the younger generation.
