It was true 20 years ago, but is it still true nowadays when it’s the 30-40 year olds who mostly grew up with the kind of computer used in business settings whilst the 20 olds usually grew up with smartphones instead?

Can confirm: Most young hires in enterprise are only familiar with iOS and Android, and now maybe prompt “engineering”.

Desktop operation is as challenging for them as anyone.

Totally agree. And I think it’s also compounded by Windows becoming a more hostile OS to power users. There are some shortcuts in Office based on the Menu (! Not the Ribbon !) that still work and I know it’s just a matter of time before those go away too. Really feels like the Dark Ages for PC computing (other than the side effect of the rise of Linux).

Why did they take Ctrl+Shift+S away???

What was that one again? Paste special? Yeah I can’t believe I’ve gotten used to Alt+h+v+s

We might still have F12 for that, but these days you usually have to Fn key your way to its natural function.
