    I’ve noticed that the younger generations have almost entirely been raised with Tablets, which are largely do-it-for-me devices. They don’t have to troubleshoot or fix any issues, and the device takes care of sorting and organizing files and apps. Many of them have never used a mouse & keyboard, and rely on touchscreen interaction.

      The prevalence of chromebooks in schools is another factor. While it has a keyboard and it’s common for them to use an external mouse, there is no file system that some website pretending to have a file system.

      Both Chromebook’s and tablets break the fundamental rule of preparing children for the real work. There are few professions, if any that work solely off tablets and chromebooks.
