Yeah, I was shocked when I learned about that. I'm a millennial. I was under the impression, that since we were so far ahead of our parents concerning tech, the next generation will all be hackers. A friend of mine works in high school teaching IT. He told me, that today's teenagers don't know how to download a file from the internet. And when they do, they still don't know where it is on the computer.

TBF, my (work) computer relentlessly tries to hide it. Why do things go to different files based on where I download from?
