Where do you live? Ipad kids here need to be explained what files and folders are. They've never even used a mouse.
They're saying they have a better understanding of the impact of technology, not the specifics of using technology.
There’s still a massive disadvantage if you want a technical role and you think the Internet, Web and Wifi are all the same thing.
Directories and files as computing concepts are ~50 years old while the impact of the printing press is around ~600.
The aspects of computing you deem important may be lost to time within a century, while the "soft subject" of social impact will still be felt.
That’s like being GenX and saying millennials never learned to use a rotary phone.
