Humans as old as Google have a different mental model of data storage

For many members of Gen Z, files and folders are not intuitive

I read this with a sense of mild but increasing discomfort...

[...] student after student was calling her over for help. They were all getting the same error message: The program couldn’t find their files. [...] She asked each student where they’d saved their project. [...] But over and over, she was met with confusion. “What are you talking about?” multiple students inquired. Not only did they not know where their files were saved — they didn’t understand the question.

@Lexur @Dimitri, It's ephemeral now, and they'll probably never look again.

Well, I don't think the social networks have much to do with this issue. What is happening is people are not learning how to use a computer in a traditional sense. My kids schools went all-in on Apple products (Ipads for k-4, and laptops for 5-8) and then they put all the docs and files in Google. Why would they need to learn about Apples operating system?
