Not to larp on the younger generations, but interacting with computers through touch screens is likely a major culprit here. Why would you know how to navigate file structures, or even open a terminal, when they were given an iPad when they were 5 years old?

The way programs are presented on a touch screen, and the actions they are taking inside of an application also being very fundamentally different in a gui sense, is surely to blame. I’m not upset about someone’s lack of understanding in that, really, in the sense of a generation alpha, but millenials, who had computer classes in just about every school in america thanks to apple and microsoft competing to get them hooked, give me major grumbles.
