I don't know what the age gap is in her office, but my personal experience is that the top "basic computer skills as a default" peaked before her generation. Except for plugging in the projector. No one knows how to do it.

    The projector? You mean that thing that shines a light through clear sheets and then through a lense and mirror making anything on the sheet appear on the wall.

    All other forms of projectors are the product of a Drunken Satan trying to immitate tech bros.

    Let me introduce you to the epidiascope. It could project both transparent and opaque originals. The one I've touched worked with glass lantern slides. It expected a bright burning light of some sort, but we retrofit it with a modern electric lamp. They're so cool.
