I had a BBC B growing up and I didn't know what a folder was, nor what a storage device is. Unless you count the giant 5 1/4 floppy drive.

I could write code, though.

The only reason you didn't learn this on your BBC B is because it didn't have a proper DOS.

I bet you know what a Folder and a File are now, though. You wouldn't get too far as a modern developer, otherwise.

That's the point: teach kids real skills, not decadence. Too bad if its "too hard" - don't pretend to be an educator if that's the case.
