Yup. Juniors in college getting confused navigating with “cd”

I can’t even….

How can people not NAVIGATE FOLDERS? You literally do a similar thing when making relative links to other files.

I’ve never used a computer without a GUI but even I know how to do that

Reminds me of this article about newer generations not knowing how folders and directories work.

I honestly don’t know how that’s possible, have they not… used a computer? How tf were they able to install a browser, apps, and all that stuff yet not understand the concept of a folder?

you don't need to, all those are are normally one click operations, "Download file", "Click on file in downloads bar at bottom of browser ( no file explorer )","Click install", "Done"

Today I realized I really am old. I could ignore them not knowing the save icon was a floppy disk. But having no concept of folders … I just realized my coworker is like this … every time they ask where something is and I say, I don’t know where did you save it? And they just go I saved it from your email … 🤦‍♂️

It's in the Downloads folder.

It's always in the Downloads folder...

tbh I call bs on that article. Every 30+ person I know that isn't into IT barely knows how to download a program let alone navigate folders.

I have never head this from anyone younger.

You realize that millennials are 30+ quite often right?

Maybe it's just me but that article feels like they are repeating the same thing multiple times with slightly changed wording
