Yeah. It’s a common mistake to label young people as “digital natives” simply because they were born in an age with smart phones. And you know, they may know their way around Whatsapp and Play Store and Pokemon Go, but if you ask them which folder their Whatsapp media is stored in, or if they can find it in Resource manager, you’re met with blank stares and confused expressions.

Making digital devices and services as accessible as possible is essential because digital services are becoming mandatory in many countries. The same applies to video games, which have become mainstream entertainment.

I remember the days when we had to edit autoexec.bat and config.sys to get some games running on our PCs - and I still remember how to do that - but I’m glad those days are gone.
