Where do you live? Ipad kids here need to be explained what files and folders are. They've never even used a mouse.

That's not what OP is saying.

They're saying they have a better understanding of the impact of technology, not the specifics of using technology.

  • Which sounds like a soft subject on the periphery.

    There’s still a massive disadvantage if you want a technical role and you think the Internet, Web and Wifi are all the same thing.

    • It is a soft subject.

      Directories and files as computing concepts are ~50 years old while the impact of the printing press is around ~600.

      The aspects of computing you deem important may be lost to time within a century, while the "soft subject" of social impact will still be felt.
