If your organization is such a clusterfuck that you can't figure out how to open a PDF, then I'm going to consider that a bullet dodged.

Our front desk person, on the computer all day, barely understands how tabs work.

It's scary.

gen z or boomer?

I don’t like dishing on generational rants, but OMG the mobile device generation is every bit as lost as Boomers are when it comes to the actual functioning of their device or using a PC as an actual work device.

My kids have had a PC since they were four, they’re teens now and they still don’t get a lot of it, but when their friends come over they are absolutely clueless. Use an Xbox or Playstation? IPad? Sure! No problem! Anything beyond that they just give up.

Technology needs to be actively taught and actively learned! If their school isn't teaching it, maybe try subscribing to some online tech literacy courses?

That is absolutely an answer, but getting teens to take more classes after being done with school…? Good luck. The kids are issued chromebooks, that’s as much tech as they get.

I had my eldest help putting together her PC after she wanted to upgrade parts for her birthday. That’s promising, I think?

Literally every single browser can open a PDF.

Is she admitting that their organization only uses discontinued, insecure Internet Explorer to use the internet? Is she also opening word files in Microsoft word 2005?

I recently found an ad requiring knowledge of win2000/XP

I met a company that still has a machine in their production line, that uses 5.25" floppy discs and an amber monochrome display. "Why?" I hear you ask. Because it still works, it isn't networked, and the floppies next to it are the only ones it'll ever interact with.
