I also want to point out a critically missing skill among students these days is the ability to save a document with an identifiable name in a retrievable location.

This sounds like it should be a non-issue, but this is a skill that is not being taught that is really screwing students over down the road. You need to keep digital copies off your own documents on a device you own. Overreliance on Autosave in general is keeping people from being able to use word processors in the very basic ways.

I frequently hear from students who have lost their own work because they did not know where it was saved and could not retrieve it again. You need to keep copies of your own work no matter what you’re doing.
