This aversion to software you describe may just be an age / generational thing, because I've noticed that almost all "older" people have issues with technology.

I think that being a med school student today probably means osmosis of cultural information from other med students, including student solutions like Google Drive and Dropbox, as well as Tinder. Along the way, that probably means comfort with email, chat, downloading apps and files, browsing, buying, PDF reading, and so on.
