The absolute worst approach to this would be to be condescending and to treat them like idiots who know nothing Younger generations aren’t stupid They know many things They just have a vastly different experience of interacting with computers

Also, files and folders are metaphors for things that are no longer as common as they once were. A file cabinet containing folders that contain documents is a much more familiar mental image for older people than for younger generations. More or less like ☎️ for a phone.

The first sentence is always true for all scenarios!

I also see how students can fail an econometric class not because they didn’t understand the maths, but because they aren’t used to work with folders in a file explorer Selecting students on this is wildly suboptimal
