Yeah, I was shocked when I learned about that. I’m a millennial. I was under the impression, that since we were so far ahead of our parents concerning tech, the next generation will all be hackers. A friend of mine works in high school teaching IT. He told me, that today’s teenagers don’t know how to download a file from the internet. And when they do, they still don’t know where it is on the computer.
Let’s not excuse the tech industry on that one. Data has been getting more and more walled off on many platforms. I wouldn’t be surprised if they never had to download anything.
It’s all streamable and accessible but downloading from places takes a little more knowhow. Not a lot but more. We have access but they keep ownership.
It’s not the only reason but it’s Def part of it. That and using tablets and smart phones which are also more locked down.

TBF, my (work) computer relentlessly tries to hide it. Why do things go to different files based on where I download from?
