“There is a myth that kids were born into an information age, and that this all comes intuitively to them,” said #SarahDexter, an associate professor of #education at the University of Virginia. “But that is not realistic. How would they know how to scan something if they’ve never been #taught how to do it?””

ok… (learn perhaps? RTFM?) 🥲

“But #desktop #computing is decidedly less intuitive. Things like files, folders, scanning, printing, and using external hardware are hallmarks of office life. Do they know what #button to press to turn on a bulky computer monitor, when many simply close their personal laptops when they’re done with them? (No, says one Reddit user who works in #IT and has resorted to putting a sign over the power button on work computers.)”

Turned it OFF and On again? 🤣
