@lightweight i was using my work macbook today and i couldnt find anything with finder, reminded me of this article and i consider myself tech proficient

@fc in my many years in tech support, I've been stunned by the number of times I try to help someone (who's job depends on their computer use) & ask them "where's the file that's causing you the problem"... and they look at me blankly.
Me: "Did you save it?"
Them: "Yes. I think so."
Me: "Where?"
Them: "Same place I always save it."
Me: "Which is...?"
Them: **shrugs**

Pretty certain these concepts aren't that hard.You'd think people would learn this sort of stuff out of professional pride.

@lightweight @fc it's a new usage paradigm, which means it's not the new generation's ignorance; it's ours. This was the approximate conclusion in the linked source article.

At some point, the search for the "blue shirt" in the laundry pile will yield an unwieldy number of results, and some other paradigm will take over. Maybe folders, maybe not.

@lwriemen @fc to be honest, my little dialogue is based on experiences I had about 20 years ago...
