My kid was in a ECE program at a top 25 university. About a third of their first year classmates did not know how to navigate a desktop file system. And these are the kids interested in tech. It’s far, far worse for the ones with no interest in tech. Tablets in school have left a generation of kids behind where the previous generation was.

I wonder if this is an American thing, because my nephews regularly use desktops and laptops. Tablets never caught on here though.

I was worried about this when they were younger though. The youngest played a lot of games only on a phone, but even he seems to have moved on from that.
