> Children are less computer-literate than ever. Is there any evidence for this? Is it a definition issue? My grandparents and some people in my parents' circle of friends are not computer-literate. And by that I mean they don't know how to use double click, what a file or browser is, or even how to use a touch focused device. They are utterly unfamiliar with the abstractions and UIs computing devices afford. Even in my generation many kids didn't have PCs or devices with interfaces more complex than an NES until later in high school. That is different today from what I've observed. It's true that for many the first computer is not always a PC as I would have had, but a smartphone or a tablet. But does it matter? They are able to harness the power of computing devices to get things done. Needing to know how computers work internally, or making use of traditional computers with mice, keyboards and monitors on a desk, these things were never really the definition of "computer-literate".
