In case you needed any additional confirmation that the human race continues to devolve, here's a new one for you.
New data shows that many in Gen Z struggle with basic DIY tasks like changing a lightbulb, according to a new report from the New York Post.
Andy Turbefield of Halfords, a UK-based motoring and cycling retailer, said: “The ability to do basic, practical tasks is being lost amongst younger generations.”
“They simply haven’t really had to [do things for themselves],” said Yamalis Diaz, an NYU Langone psychologist.
She continued: “So much of their (and all of our) lives are automated, convenient and outsourced, which today’s generation of young people have benefited from way more than past generations. So, it makes complete sense that Gen Z simply doesn’t know how to do as much with regard to non-tech or independent tasks.”
This one really does speak for itself. I love it, "GOTDIT".

Oh, yes. There are a lot of things they don’t seem to be able to do. I think that it is because of the helicopter parenting style of their parents. You know, always safety first and no chance for personal discovery..

And also peer influence
If no one in your peer group knows how to change a lightbulb then why would you

Yes, I guess the boomer jokes may just have to be updated, too. I think the butt of the joke changes with the generations.
