It's kinda fucked up that they don't teach this to freshman college students first thing as part of basic media literacy.

Same goes for teaching version control such as git to anyone writing or collaborating on complex text (not necessarily even code). https://medium.com/@RichHosek/github-for-writers-an-introduction-8cec9d9ece2

Granted, Google docs already has built in versioning, but git works better offline and works with any text editor.
