Sounds like a bit of a desperate reach to attach the EEE label to this.

While The Church of Jesus Christ does pay for use of Ancestry.com licenses at FamilySearch centers, it was not involved in creating the company. The Church has it's own genealogy company: FamilySearch.org.

I mean, two whole generations are growing up without using regular computers until they enter the workforce or go to college. When I was in highschool, I was told that the generations after me would mostly be more technologically literate than anyone was at the time, but with smartphones and ChromeOS it seems that the time to learn how to use a personal computer now begins far later than it was for us millennials.

There are so many basic things about using a computer that it is no longer to expect a high school graduate to know, such as how to use a printer (or what a printer even is), how to reboot a computer, what a browser is, etc.

The first time, it was an interesting discussion. Now, it's just spam.

Absolutely right. And it blows my mind that at this point people are getting less technologically literate, not more. Job security for us IT guys, I guess.

People making OS their religion and following one of the Penguin Creeds:

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, installing Linux in the name of Torvalds, Stallman, and the Holy Kernel: Teaching them to use only FOSS software. Amen.

shared XKCD about experts overestimating laypeople's knowledge of their field

Double clicking it opens a weird folder.
I just put the ISO on my external drive and now my backup is gone what happened?

Proceeds to assume laypeople have backups

The real problem with that Guardian piece is the insistence on perpetuating a superficial identity marker well past its expiration date. Why do we keep breathing life into the dead horse that is racism? Let it die along with the aging population of people who grew up when it was still cool to think that race exists.
