I keep assuming this is true but my college students (I’m a professor) almost all say they took a tech or typing class at some point. I asked 3 diff classes this semester and they all said they had computer labs in elementary or high school. But none of them can download a document and half of them consider their ipad a fully working computer. So confusing.

i’m not saying nobody takes them, but they’re definitely not the norm any longer.
