I think you have a romanticized revisionary memory of back then.

I went to school in the 90s and learned computers in school.

All they taught us was the basics. How to use Windows explorer. What files are and how to rename and delete and undelete them.

And some hypercard clone. Which barely taught us anything about computers except "they can do stuff you tell them to," which I guess was a valuable lesson?






I've been hearing that kids do not understand files and hierarchal file systems due to cloud and iOS.
