Last night I offered to help my Zoomer classmate torrent Kamen Rider and he told me he was afraid of going to jail.

One friend of mine told that he read once that kids these days doesn't even know how to create a folder (or directory), is that true?
Do you know how to create a directory on your phone? Lots of kids have never used a desktop/laptop, just phones and tablets.

This is the only one of these that I simply do not believe I am genz and admittedly more into computers than average but I have never met anyone who couldn't figure out to right click to make a new folder unless they mean that they didn't know how to use the terminal to do it.

I had to teach my zoomer intern how to use alt+tab and that you can just keep ctrl pressed and then just press the other key, they didn't need to be pressed on the exact instant to work.

Back when computers were a novelty, we had schools dedicated to teaching people how to use them in my country.
The classes ranged from the most basic stuff, such as how to use a mouse, to more advanced topics, such as how to use the Windows registry.
We might need to bring these schools back in the near future.
If we can get them to teach Linux instead of Windows and tell people - this will run on whatever computer you bring to class
Oh god I feel seen
anyone who has never experienced the joy of destroying hardware with a misplaced address access is, at best, translucent. magic blue smoke or bust.
Did these kids grow up not using computers at school? When I was in school (1999-2013) we had both Mac and Windows desktops that we used during library visits, computer lab, and art periods. Did schools just replace that hardware with iPads? Writing/editing an essay, manipulating a photo, drafting shop drawings, or learning to code on a tablet sounds like a fucking nightmare.

The difference is that aged people tend to forget their training more. I’m not worried about the youngins.
