if you wanna tell apart american gen z from gen alpha, ask them if they know what this is:

gen z used these smartboards and the teacher always made someone recalibrate the touchscreen to the projection when it was off

afaik the new spoiled shits all get these in every classroom, they were rolling em out when i was graduating:

at least in places that can afford it. this might be more true in a few years

I never got to see these things in action while in school, but I remember hearing they were on the way. To this day, I've still only interacted with analog boards.

My very rural school used a technology grant to get a few smart boards (that first kind). I'm an older millennial. They were not as useful as a white board for drawing stuff on the board but quicker to setup for slide presentations.
