[WJW]

It wouldn't have been true even if all young people in our generation would have had all the access to computers they would've liked. Most people just don't like tinkering with technology and that's fine!

The whole argument is pretty dumb anyway. Just try replacing "computers" with any other technology and you see how weird it starts sounding.

- "People use roads every day but almost nobody even knows how to make asphalt from scratch these days."

- "People use electricity every day but almost nobody even knows the basic equations for electric generators."

- "Children these days use refrigerators only as consumers, they don't even understand the differences between HCFC and A3 type refrigerants..."

Computer programmers despairing about how few children understand computers has strong vibes from https://xkcd.com/2501/ IMO.
