> At the end, her mom asks her what she is doing with her computer. The girl responds by asking, “What's a computer?”

That's her neighbor.

And "What's a computer?" is a running joke in our household. We both have Macs (me recently after I started seeing her and she gave me her ancient one, and then purchased a new MacBook Air), but I lean toward Windows and we both have Android.

To me, 'what's a computer' really shows who Apple is marketing: people who don't need to do actual sit-down, 8-5, work.

And trendy folks who would say 'what's a computer' even though they know perfectly well what a computer is.
