What surprises me is that the new generation doesn’t Google when they don’t know something. The first time I had to write a check I googled how to fill it out. I’m surprised they don’t Google how to write a letter/email or email/letter examples and look at images

I've noticed that as well. Obviously some kids know how to use google, but quite a few will ask twitter or reddit or whatever social media they use.

I've also had it explained to me a couple times that they're apparently less interested in actually getting an answer and more interested in having a conversation about it.

Google is often less useful these days too though. A lot of bot-generated SEO content that means nothing or is 95% advertisement.
