25 years ago, we were all bitching about having to program our parents' VCR for them. In 25 more years we'll be asking a teenager how to get TikTok beamed directly into our brains like they're doing.

I am 100% sure I will never be asking for that.

Now, figuring out how to get a containerization platform running in there might be a different matter...

Until the container gets rooted and people start asking why you call yourself Tyler half the time.
I knew a few elderly who managed to program their VCR. I also knew a lot of young people who couldn't.

I tease my wife about not figuring out email until 2005. Of course I date back to the era whence we had to run down to the data center and take turns on the operator console to send each other text messages.
