Lem JukesThere’s a Pirate Software clip where he talks about the amount of kids who don’t even recognize a controller as an input and go straight to assuming all screens are touch screens
How old are they that don’t know how to use a mouse?

Relevant clip from a gaming industry veteran. They were doing a demo for a PC game. Older folks would choose the mouse and keyboard. Teenagers would choose the controller. And children would move the controller out of the way to poke the screen, thinking it was a touchscreen.
You're All Old
