My nephew, a sharp kid who started his freshman year at college in September, saw me working on my computer a year ago.

He asked what I was doing and I said, “making a website”. He asked, reasonably, how do you do that?

Not wanting to get into details I said “it’s just writing some files that chrome can then read”. He asked, “what’s a file”?

I told him, but I was floored. He’s not every kid, but it’s had me thinking about how younger folks (I’m 38) will see computers.
