The issue being faced here is that the folder, directory was based on virtual representations of actual objects; documents in file folders in file cabinets.
Younger students have never seen this type of storage - files in an office, the card catalog at a library. They donâ(TM)t have the base frame of reference to know what these virtual objects are supposed to be emulating. How can you understand a file folder on a hard drive if you have no idea what a Manila folder full of paper documents *is*?
