    Is it that important? All technology gets better to the point of it just working, and when it rarely doesn’t, you contact someone who does. My grandfather could build cars from parts alone. My father could do most maintenance repairs and knew enough to understand what the mechanic was telling him. I know what video games and entertainment have told me about cars, but have no clue about it in real life. It hasn’t mattered. Cars are so reliable, I can just have AAA if I get in a bind.

      There are computer science students these days who don’t know what a file system is. Ponder that one for a moment

        I had to take a typing class in college. They can teach basics. It doesn’t take long to go over file systems.

          No it doesn’t. But I do university IT and recently did a file restore for a comp sci student. Sent him the file path. Student replied “the link doesn’t work what do I do with it?”

          Honestly I am so grateful gen z can’t computer because my whole life I was worried they would replace me. Not a chance…
