I've heard that GenX/Millenials are in a sort of PC goldilocks zone. People older than that cohort don't know computers and therefore use phones for everything, people younger don't know computers and also use phones for everything.

I think this is a great generalization, I'm not sure I would have bothered with a PC if I had a smartphone as a child/teenager, but I also have no regrets about the smartphone free era I grew up in.

This depends a lot on too many factors. I'm not of your target age group, but not only me but most of my friends are similarly technically minded. Many of us were rooting our phones back in school, even though it wasn't needed of course.
