    That reminds me: i once searching for jobs in the usual local aggregators, it didn’t have a link to the original offer nowhere, so i used developer console’s picker to figure the URL out. My mother: did you just hack the job page?

    Computers are magic and we are wizards because we understand more or less how it works.

    I teach math to undergrads, and damn it’s sad. They don’t know how to send a PDF file from their phone to laptop, and upload it to Canvas. One guy ended up emailing it to me. They don’t even know what a folder/directory is.

      With USB cable? Because outside of that it gets complicated and/or vendor-specific quickly.

        If you have the luck that Android prompts you if you want to enable file transfer or just charge your device.

    I believe the most computer proficient people were born between 1975 and 1995. Before that and they were too old to figure it out without a lot of effort. After that they grew up with touch screens and it’s all just magic. Right in the middle we were able to grow along with advancements in computing.

    I was teaching a class with mostly students born after 2000. One of them had never used a computer with a keyboard and mouse. Never used folders and files. Kind of blew me away.

          ?

          Btw the “>” at the beginning starts a quote.
          To prevent that put a \ before something like a * or >. Like this: \\>. Hope I could help you :)

            That is exactly what happened. I was trying to jokingly express anger at seeing my birth year being correlated with being tech-illiterate, so I typed a ‘>:(’ emoji, not realizing I needed an escape-character to avoid it looking like quote.

            Hope you get the same laugh out of it as I did lol
