Kids today barely know what a file is. I have to regularly explain folders and file types. When I asked them where they saved a thing, they answer “On the computer” and look at me like I’m crazy for asking that.

Folders, or directories, really, may not be worthwhile, but when you have more than fifteen files, they’re quite convenient.
