  • I saw an old friend post a few years ago asking if anyone else’s students didn’t know what file directories were. And I don’t mean freshman in a general class. This was a summer interns in a hard science. The responses to the post were essentially “yeah they only know how to search for files.”

    I really started using computers for more than gaming with windows 95, and it wasn’t until college when I switched to Linux that I got serious about file directory hygiene, but even in those win95 days I knew where everything was on my computer. I fundamentally don’t understand how you can use computers without understanding that.
