And then there are some cough some of my classmates cough that barely know how to save a word document to a different location other than the default documents folder or how to full screen a presentation quickly (i.e. not having to go to that tab and then clicking full screen, the faster way just just to click F12 (idk rn if that’s the correct one) or the shortcut in bottom right)
I could never imagine them working out how to put files on a CD, bet they don’t know how an optical drive looks like, and funniest thing is, every singe one that had problems like this was an iPhone user, just shows how technologically uneducated the average iPhone user is (as you can guess I do not live in the US, and not like I live in a wealthy country, I do still live in Europe though)

I was in IT support and I was seriously asked to “support” a (l)user that wanted me to let her know where was a Word document she had saved a few minutes prior. Flabbergasted, I just could ask “didn’t you check where did you put it when you save it?” Her answer: “What do I know about that? I didn’t study computer sciences.” 🤦♂️
I showed one of my coworkers how the “recents” list in Explorer works and it was one of those mind blown moments for him.
From what I understand, though, people not understanding how a hierarchical directory/folder tree structure works is an incredibly common hurdle that computer instructors have to overcome nowadays.
