I have had multiple college freshmen taking an intro C# class that had no idea what a zip file was. How can you want to be a computer science student but be so disconnected from your own computer skills.
I kind of don’t think it’s that weird. I grew up with computers and I use one for work in a technical field where understanding them helps. But I also barely use one anymore other than for work or the odd game. People who grew up on phones and want to develop for phones or consoles might never have needed to use a computer but can still be interested in computer science.

Ironic.
