I mean this is literally what I do in front of non-tech people to make them think I live in the Matrix. It's honestly kind of hilarious how well it works. Their eyes go wide and they think I'm Mr. Chip Hackerman.

    It’s literally how scammers scam people every day too. Just open up command prompt and run

    tree c: /f
    

    And say it’s them visualizing the hacker, or scanning for viruses or something stupid.

    Most people today do not understand computers at all. Even those freshly graduating with CS degrees often have little to no knowledge of how their OS’s work.
