    It was awhile ago but there was an article saying that newer generations are PC illiterate because they grow up using smartphones. Apparently Smartphones and PCs are different skill sets.

      Apparently Smartphones and PCs are different skill sets.

      Why is this ‘Apparently’. 99.99% of Smart Phone Users have no ability to access the cryptic file system.

      It’s very different.

      If you can’t find an app that ‘does it for you’. You just don’t do it on a smart phone. That’s not how a PC can work.

        True. It was a poor choice of words because it’s definitely different skill sets.

        The first android device I ever worked with was a tablet I got for college and I hated how convoluted it seemed to access the file system. There were many things I tried to do that I knew how to do on Windows and Linux but struggled to get done on the tablet. I have the same problems now that I’ve finally gotten a smartphone.

          This is why my phone is basically a phone/mp3 player/youtube player for me. Ive customized it to be as not convoluted as possible and I only use it for a handful of things. I also look at porn on it because why not.
