    I am more and more convinced that young people have a much better understanding of technology and especially its impact on society.

      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 old technology now.

        That’s like being GenX and saying millennials never learned to use a rotary phone.

          Files and folders are far from old tech. It is like not knowing how to calculate 2+2.

            Where do you see files and folders nowadays? They're pretty much only used by developers and some corporate offices.

              They are still present everywhere. They are just badly hidden behind a leaky abstraction.
