I once had a student come to my office hours because she couldn& #39;t figure out how to paste screenshots into Word. Turns out her laptop was *the first computer that her family had ever owned*

So, no, I won& #39;t be requiring them to use git. Thanks. https://twitter.com/bufordsharkley/status/1390371933204615169">https://twitter.com/bufordsha...

Another student didn& #39;t know what "the Start button" referred to in my instructions for basically the same reason. Yet another didn& #39;t know the Ctrl+C/V shortcuts. I& #39;d guess 1/4 of all the students I& #39;ve taught had never saved a file anywhere besides the Downloads folder.

To be clear, this was not due to lack of curiosity or aptitude. Major culprits are underfunding schools and teaching for tests/checklists. UX is also becoming more tangible/less abstract– git is basically file algebra, which for some people (me) is needlessly cumbersome!
