Yeah this is true, friends that are professors say they now have to have a basic class early in the semester that explains folders, files, and other basics to students.

Very much an intentional goal of the OS when it came out, the hope being that the concepts of files and folders might never be needed. A bold move to get rid of a mental overhead for using a computer that was never natural or intuitive to non-tech users. They eventually had to back off a bit, but it’s an amazing accomplishment that most users can still use these devices as if files weren’t a thing.

How long do you think that IT professionals will need to care about hierarchical file systems?
