And yet a lot of kids are entering the workforce today not knowing how to use a computer mouse or what a web browser is.

    Probably best to focus on child labor laws then.

    For young adults entering the workforce computer literacy is dropping DESPITE a clear increase in school computer use. This is not an argument for kids being shackeld to tablets for their school work. Basic computer science courses, typing courses and computer lab exposure are sufficient.
