If you already knew how to use a computer–which is what I was referring to, then learning how to use the Internet was not that difficult. It’s the parents of those management people that had no idea. But anyone who went to school in the 80s and 90s was getting actual computer classes in school, elementary through high school. I’m a high school teacher now, and one of the things I have to do teach my 9th graders is how to use their school-issued laptops, because they don’t have computer classes the way they used to. Everyone seems to think that these kids are all computer whizzes but really all they’re familiar with is how to barely use a smartphone. If I were to ask them to save a file to their hard drive maybe 2 or 3 kids in a class of 20 would know what I meant.
