other than typing i didn't learn any of the computer shit i'm cursed with from school or parents.
having to double-click an exe to run a game exposed me to the other files in the folders and out of curiosity you click on shit and learn that an .ini file is just text and you can change numbers around if you want.
i run into grown adults that use a computer every day and don't know what files or folders are
I find it very odd for adults (at least older ones) not knowing what files and folders are when there's an analog equivalent
yeah there's some things i can explain to my elderly mother that are harder to explain to 22 year olds because she's used the things that are the basis for the skeuomorphism while people under 30 often don't know what floppy discs were.
