Anecdotal: I went back to college for night school, and the classmates in my math course were all around 20 years old. I made a habit of sitting in the front row and taking photos of the whiteboard during each class, which I used to supplement my notes.
Leading up to the final exam, I brought my laptop to class and burned all of those photos onto CD-Rs (for free) for anyone who wanted one.
Anyway, when the students around me noticed that I was using the keyboard to drive this process instead of dragging files around, they were utterly amazed.
- ALittleLight 5y agoI expected they would've been amazed at CD-Rs. Even back when I was in college the practice was to pass a USB stick around the class with notes, PDF of textbook, etc.

- timbit42 5y agoThis is why I use USB SDCard readers instead. I can write protect the SDCard.

- wil421 5y agoI was in college 8+ years ago and we would use GroupMe. I’ve heard people still use it or what’s app. No need to share any type of media.
