I remember my kids crying the first time they lost their school assignments using Microsoft Office at home. They’d only ever used Google docs and no one taught them to save. They also had no idea what the save icon is or represented (floppy disk).

  I prefer the school of hard knocks. Do you think they know what a save button is now?

I worked for a public library and one of the worst things was, despite CONSTANTLY reminding people that when their computer time ran out, the machine would delete EVERYTHING and restart itself, I’d always get some dope who would gasp in horror at closing time when the script ran. “What happened!? It’s just…g…gone?!” “Did you bring a USB? Email it to yourself? Send it to the print queue yet?” “No, I was just about to finish it!” “…There is literally nothing I can do about this.” “But it was 6 pages and due tomorrow and–”

One dude literally asked me: “Can’t you…hack it or something!?”

It’s physically painful.
