Wow, you're assuming a lot of knowledge there. I've worked in a college setting (as a librarian, not specifically IT, but damn did we end up doing a lot of IT diagnostics) -- and a phone cable? you think these kids have ever seen a phone cable? USB port they might get from the iPod example, but I've got a lot of little flat rectangles available on my computer. Video outputs and firewire ports are harder to describe, as they're used less often by these kids. That said, whoever really thought this generation was, as a unit, more computer savvy has never actually talked to the vast majority of college students these days. I'm stunned by how few are willing to actually explore their machines, and how many have down right phobias about them. Combine that with the PC-whack-a-mole phenomenon, and they're damn frustrating.
