I mean knowing what something is and using it can be 2 different things. Most people can save things to their computers or make a folder. They just have no reason to know the technical term or how the computer saves it behind the scenes, if you told them they’d likely remember.
Always hated the if someone doesn’t know a specialized word in your profession or hobby they’re dumb mentality
While that is true and important to mention, im also getting reports from teachers saying a lot of the kids, even the older ones, also dont even know of the concept of a file. An image is just an image that can be dragged between apps. A folder is for apps. Everythings an app!
Been some time since i was substitute, so maybe the claims are a bit exaggerated. Could be the commenter was referring to this trend?
Seriously. That’s like me thinking someone’s dumb because they don’t understand the function of chloroplasts in a cell or something. Not everyone in the world is into your specialty.
File path is a specialized term? Ctrl+f is specialized ? This has existed for over 25 years. Its scary people dont know absolute basics.
It’d be something else if it wasnt a thing that encompasses every aspect of our lives 24/7 every single day of our lives. Dont you think people should be knowledgeable about it ? Ive always been of the mind I should be educated about important things like that and have been learning my entire life so I know things that matter.
Its also easier than its ever been. This isnt changing a flat tire or some physical thing people are more scared to learn. This is veeeery easy reading and videos to educate yourself on how a staple aspect of your life functions.

Also my computer stopped asking where I wanted to save things and just kept uploading to the cloud
And that’s why I’ve never synced any accounts to my laptop

I would argue you should understand the tool you’re using

Except GTK where I still have to type Ctrl+L to request that it graciously allow me to enter a path.
Same with nemo file explorer…annoying ha
