I teach college and the problem is much more fundamental than that. Certainly I have tech literate students but I can't tell you how often I see students struggle to just log onto their email when they try to pull up a class presentation. The old cliche is searching for google is not only alive and well but now it is search for google, go to google, then search for youtube, then search for the video you want to show. Even when they actually have the url for a video, in the last several years since I have started paying attention I don't think I have ever seen a student use the "paste and go" option in the right click menu. They ALWAY paste it in then hit enter. Paste and go is right under paste! When I post a link to a survey or something I want them to go to I have stopped just copying and pasting the url. I now have to paste it in and make sure to delete http://www http://www because nearly all of them will type it in and a large percentage will do it wrong. showing them ctrl+f to find something on a page blows their mind. I have started teaching some sections of public speaking online and I was driven crazy by the complete tech illiteracy of some of the "digital natives." (pro tip: emailing and saying "it doesn't work" is not useful.) I try to keep the xkcd comic about being excited when I get to show someone something new but it is hard.
