Meanwhile Gen Alpha: "What is Word??"

I get the joke but tbh this comes across as boomer humor

Nope, neither a joke, nor Boomer. GenX with late GenZ and early GenAlpha kids. So no humor, just empiric observation. Just this week my GenZ son told me to my astonishment, that out of his class of 30, only 3 still have a printer at home. For my daughter in elementary school it is even worse. Mobile phones and tablets essentially have completely replaced PCs and Laptops at home. First time the kids come in contact with a text processing program is sometime during secondary school in class if they are lucky.
