I can confirm a small part of it: the not knowing whether a file is saved locally or not, and not understanding things like directory structures at all.

But I'm also reminded of the story of the redditor who had a friend whose family bought him a new computer every time it "broke" (when the cleaning lady unplugged it when vacuuming his room). So this may just be extraordinary privilege.

@ktempestbradford even the ones that use computers can only install and manage software via app stores. Pressing install on Steam is the extent of their experience. It’s like going back 20 years to when kids didn’t have any computer experience from home. They only learn it at school.

@Jakra meanwhile, I'm out here like: why do I need an app store for this software on my laptop?? I can get it from the website.

@ktempestbradford or “why isn’t this app just a website?”
