I'm from EU, the situation of the whole population of circa ANY age is the very same: most do not know NOTHING about common life things. I start to see young who do not want to learn how to drive a car "because we have the metro", re-read not to OWN a car, but just knowing how to drive. Shoelaces start to disappear for crappy tourniquets because many do not know how to tie laces and no, such tourniquets are not quicker not better. It's not a positive evolution like from an ICE to and EV. Many do not know how to cook most basic dishes, they live buying ready-made food and so on.
It's not better in generic culture: many do not know how to handle paper and write with a pen which is REASONABLE these days IF you know how to write on a computer and handle your files properly but no, that second part is not known as well. I know some PhDs who do not know how to manage their own info, even their libraries in Zotero and can't properly quote a damn email.
