It’s helpful to take a few steps back from time to time to reassess where we’re each coming from on our knowledge of tech (or anything) to better communicate.

    Really? Maybe I’m in an echo chamber. I heard that elementary schoolers these days use computers in class, so I thought they’ll learn basic computer skills there.

      The problem is that computers are now too friendly. You don’t need to learn the deep magic anymore to run them.

      My kids, who can’t even read, navigate their tablets like professional users.

      They do. I’ve got an 8 year old, and they use computers in school. My nieces and nephews are around the same age in different schools, and they use computers too.

      There are some schools with older kids where they get school issued Chromebooks, but generally, at least here, kids are using computers.
