These kids type their entire papers on their phones and save it via Google Drive. It's not surprising they really don't know how to do anything with computers.
Um... what? This would blow my mind to observe.
I do a number of things on my phone that would be faster and 'easier' to do on my mac, but which I don't simply because doing it on my phone is more comfortable/natural.
Yeah, it's weird. However, my phone has become a part of me (in a way). Doing things without it feels unnatural.
but... they know how to type a paper and save it to Google drive.
I'm not trying to be pedantic but that's how computers are used nowadays.
You've been happily using your Generic XPad your entire life dealing with minor UI changes that are explained to you via small tutorials or w/e. You learn your job on the job, specific things in school etc. The furthest you'll go is the search bar on Facebook or a marketplace.
If you encounter something that doesn't just work, how do you know how to figure it out if you've never developed that skill. To me and you it's not that hard, it's pretty obvious.
People just learn the trick, but not how to be curious. Or maybe they just don't care, that's fine too I guess.
They'd probably just Google it, and that would probably be sufficient.
