We were in high school by the time the internet really started picking up, but we’re exposed to tech early enough to learn it.
We also had much jankier software. I’m finding that the kids coming out of college now in non-tech fields are less tech-literate than 10-20 years ago because all the smart devices they’ve grown up on just do everything for them.
As someone working at a college–yup. A lot of students don’t know how to log out, or find save files. Where would they have learned it, though? You never log out of mobile devices.
I guess you don’t really explicitly save files in a lot of cases on mobile, huh. Hell, even when you do, they just magically save to some predetermined directory somewhere the vast majority of the time. “What’s a file system?”
