Very misleading title. The claim actually articulated in the article is that kids these days make heavy use of search functions and thus tend not to organize their files into subfolders. Nowhere in the article is there anything about students being unware of the ability to do this, nor any indication that students don't know what files and directories are. If anything, the article claims it is in fact the professors who are only now coming to appreciate the utility of search functions.
> And Garland, the astrophysicist teaching an engineering course, has started using her PC's search function to find files in the same way her students do. "I'm like, huh ... I don’t even need these subfolders," she said.
