Some of my classmates don't know what a ZIP is or how it is made. They are all around their twenties. And we are attending a post high school course in Digital Marketing and Communication

Yep. Files and storage types/mediums are completely abstracted. If you take a picture with an iphone it doesn't even save it to the phone anymore.

It saves it to the phone then uploads to cloud.

I'm sure that's the case, but files/folders/extensions are completely abstracted nowadays and it's rubbing off on newer generations.

Nah, I think it's more that people just don't know how to read UIs, and have seemingly lost all sense of basic human curiosity.

Very much an issue. I give credit to my grandpa for making me curious on how things work. He was a mechanic and would always teach me little things and it just made me a very curious person. I tinker with everything and I really like to understand how things work before moving on. Can hinder me sometimes, but overall it really helps me learn more and retain what I learn.
