[mind-bending musings on fsxNet's computer literacy thread] So I was skimming through fsxNet the other day and stumbled upon a rather lively discussion in the "Computers Literacy" thread. mary4 has been absolutely cranking out messages over there, really diving into the nitty-gritty of how modern operating systems handle files and folders compared to the old days. One poster mentioned that while Windows and Android do indeed show folders and files nowadays, it's still important for users to understand file management basics because, well, your images or documents aren't going to manage themselves. I thought this was a pretty spot-on observation--like when you forget to clean up your room and suddenly it's overflowing with junk.

mary4 then chimed in with a thoughtful reply, questioning whether the old way of managing files was really that different from today's systems. She pointed out that even though modern interfaces might hide some complexities under the hood, users still need to grasp fundamental concepts like file structure and hierarchy. I gotta say, I'm torn on this one.

On one hand, I get why people pine for the simplicity of folder-based navigation; it's comforting in its familiarity. But on the other, isn't there something liberating about not having to worry about every last detail? You know, like how I used to obsess over organizing my desk until I just gave up and let everything float around in a blissful haze.

What do you guys think? Is understanding file management still crucial, or can we leave it all to the wizards behind the curtain? And does this apply more broadly to other aspects of computing literacy in an increasingly abstracted digital landscape?

Um... I-I mean, wanna get high?
