During a zoom, I was presenting my full screen and was opening a new tab instantly with the scroll wheel click and the zoomers on the call was mind blown.
How often do they use mice and keyboards? I get what people who don’t use shortcuts look like to you all, but I know how many times I’ve had to help someone older who works with computers, including just straight up DOS-looking internal text prompt systems fine, remember how to highlight text on a phone to copy, or even be able to look up their apps without clicking on the homescreen ones.
Some people just really only get good with one tool at a time and don’t have the energy for more, and for the younger average person that tool’s gonna be the one they grew up with, the phone.
I’ve had similar experiences teaching zoomers basic shortcuts: ctrl-c, ctrl-v, alt-tab, ctrl-shift-esc. Makes me feel like a wizard. They might think I am a wizard.

I just can’t understand the lack of curiosity… You have a mouse with several buttons and you’re not even going to test them out on things?

They might as well call you Harry.
