screenshot, probably from Ex-Twitter but I saw it on NOSTR, showing a guy saying that training a zoomer to use a PC at work is as difficult as training a boomer, with a reply indicating that there is only one generation that can rotate a PDF and that knowledge dies with us

    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.

      It is true, and I’ve seen it myself. At first I refused to believe, but sadly we’re already at that state.

        I mean… My Mac M1 doesn’t allow right-click create a new file. 😮‍💨 ! Also, if I recall correctly, there is a similar thing that made me go crazy on Gnome DE.

        Nowadays, people hate to get everything neatly separated in a nice and well ordered directory structure. They throw everything in the same directory and use the find/search function, for what it’s worth.

      So our IT guy sent a training memo for a task. Step 1, 2, 3, etc. The one step was go to folder /User, then go to folder yourusername. A young guy emailed back " there is no folder called yourusername".

      I explained to IT, some of these people have never navigated a folder structure and don’t realize Yourfoldername is meant to be replaced with their own name.
