    Sure, that’s hilarious, but I’m pretty sure I remember actually being taught to turn on a computer (and monitor) when we were being taught about them in general. What do you think these kids should do, just know things?

      Well it’s not so much their fault but the one of their parents and society around them. That’s why you can find Gen Z’ers very capable of programming and handling a GNU/Linux distribution, while others couldn’t even be bothered with simple operating system concepts exposed to them on their iPhones.
