   It has happened. A grown ass adult Mac user told me they had no idea how to "make a folder". Damn. Phones ruined people.

     @dosnostalgic There's much more to this... Many people are not even using computers other than smartphones. No surprise they have no idea what "folder" is.

     And even if they have computers, they use them more like a bigger phone: concepts of files & folders is quite complex for them. It's very interesting...

     @ntfbscott 20 years ago it was middle aged people. Now it's young people.

     @dosnostalgic This is nothing new, it long predates phones. 20 years ago when people couldn't find a file they needed, I'd ask them "Where did you save it? Did you save it to My Documents? Did you save it to the desktop?" And they'd answer "I saved it in Word."
