Imagine never having sweets in your life, then the first time you having a peppermint your life would be changed.

Now imagine a long life where you had all the sweets you could ever eat available all the time. Your attitude to them is going to be far different.

In addition, back in the 90s computers were going to attract 'computer people' and the rest would ignore them. Now they are just a fact of life, even for the disinterested.
