I remember Windows 95 came with an interactive tutorial (with exercises) that explained how the mouse gestures worked and how to manipulate windows, files and folders and start up applications.
I wish something like that was still bundled with Windows Seven/8.1/10, Ubuntu, Android, etc. That would save the regular folks I have to help some time and frustration when they want the device `to bloody work`.
Anecdote: I met a lot of 40~50 years old people who are persuaded children and teenagers know the ins and outs of those interfaces. I stopped bothering explaining them they don't but that stereotype doesn't seem to die and it keeps on hopping to the next generation.
