i know that others have already commented on this but most of my high school interns are so helpless when it comes to technology that doesn't completely spoonfeed the experience that it is actually terrifying

#tbc our awareness of this means we now spend extra time on these skills but it is a shock at how many cant navigate basics on a desktop #let alone use a program like excel #ppl just assumed these kids would be 'digital natives' and be far ahead of us naturally #but the reality is they grew up on phones and tablets and apps that strongly handhold and control your experience #and computer skills - esp on desktop - are something you have to learn #and that includes learning where to go to try looking for an answer yourself first #not st #doctor's log
