    I don’t know what the age gap is in her office, but my personal experience is that the top “basic computer skills as a default” peaked before her generation. Except for plugging in the projector. No one knows how to do it.

      The projector? You mean that thing that shines a light through clear sheets and then through a lense and mirror making anything on the sheet appear on the wall.

      All other forms of projectors are the product of a Drunken Satan trying to immitate tech bros.
