You need to work with some Gen. A or whatever comes after gen z.
They have a level of computer literacy that is shockingly bad. They use computers everyday, but only within the walled gardens of google classroom/iOs/Android.
I taught an after school HTML/CSS for grade school age kids, and the majority of them didn't know about the concept of a directory structure. Even just saving a text file (instead of having a file autosave to their google drive) was a foreign concept.
Kids these days very much are NOT digital natives in the way that millenials and Gen x were.
What is really troubling is that many kids are impatient with technology (thank tiktok and other apps for that) so coding is the worst they could imagine.
