Not all young people are ‘digital natives’
I changed my business recently to a situation where I deal with alot of millenial aged college graduates. For all the talk of this generation "growing up with the internet", I am consistently surprised by how poor their non social media skills are. Things like copying files from a thumbdrive to a computer, filling out a spreadsheet, adding a header or footer to a document - sometimes it is quite shocking.<p>I graduated from High School in 1994 and had some computer classes leading up to that. I learned how to type a letter in wordperfect.  I learned how to save it to my floppy disk.  I learned how to use a spreadsheet to make a budget.<p>What has happened that we don't teach these basic things any more?  Social media is important as a medium but basic job skills are really being left to the employer to teach.<p>Of course, it could be the kind of young person I am contracting.  But they are finance majors, political majors, and so on.
