@adi Maybe the students are just trolling.
@adi Maybe the students are just trolling.
@adi Maybe, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they weren't. Kids these days often are using tablet and smartphones almost literally as soon as they can walk, sometimes earlier. They're used to using computer devices that essentially act like appliances, that give them sensory experiences and information with minimal effort. Or as the article touched on, they can just 'search' for it.
@eldersnake @adi I think it's a bit worrying, and points to a loss of organisational skills and taking ownership of what is on their devices. One thing for sure, if/when I have kids, their early computer experiences will be very considered. None of this "distract them with an iPad" for hours and hours stuff.
@eldersnake I personally always believed searching to be inefficient in regards to anything not only computer stuff. Most efficient is to know where the damn thing is so you don't need to search.

@adi I’m not surprised by this. But there’s also the opposite: My grandpa (who has been working for a big tech company since the 1950’s) increasingly has trouble with today’s mobile device, because there are no “files” anymore. He gets lost and doesn’t find his stuff. Aaaaaaand to be completely honest: Me too. 🙄
