Yeah, we used to marvel at how quickly toddlers took to using a mouse like it was second nature, but today I see young adults who have no concept of what a file or a directory are. I'm so glad I got my start with DOS instead of Windows or Mac.

@tom@subdued.social @TheJen@beige.party When my daughters got IT lessons in high school they didn't learn what a file or a directory were. It was mostly Windows-for-dummies, which buttons to press. We objected (to the school) but weren't heard, "that's what they'll need in their job in 10 years". (20 years later, jobs have changed so much!)
