What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

    My favorite is “Okay open up Explorer, no Windows Explorer, ok close Internet Explorer, open the folder looking one, no need to double click the folder, shit you just moved that folder into another folder, we need to undo, press Ctrl+Z, wait at the same time, well not the exact same time, press Ctrl a bit earlier… Ok, Edit pulldown and click undo… how about you shift over and let me drive”

      Exactly that hahaha.

      It makes me sad to see how inept 18-20 year old kids are at basic computer operation. I’m 28 so not that far away, but I find myself constantly thinking “how did you guys miss this”.

      I spend most of my day as a tutor for an intro to Microsoft office class and I am continually blown away at how little people understand about devices they paid hundreds of not thousands of dollars for.

        Mostly it is because iOS and Android abstract away the file system. I’m 43 and have been using computers since the late 80’s, one of my biggest gripes with android is the lack of a good simple file browser and text editor.

          Phone OSs are definitely a big culprit but students entering college now would have most likely at a minimum been issued Chromebooks since middle school. While not perfect at least Google drive would give them a chance to get to grips with how to navigate files.

          I’ve been using Solid Explorer for years. There’s likely something better now, but it’s served me well.
