The weird bit is that our parent's generation is also the one that build the damn things in the first place!

Sadly if most computers weren't 'walled garden' experiences then maybe the kids could learn to tinker and fix them. As it is if the issue can't be fixed from a settings app then they're stuck.

Idk. I built my first computer at 6 and ran an irc server for my class mates back in middle school. And I’m sure not many people would have done that back then either.

Im sure there’s plenty of curious and tech inclined kids these days. They just aren’t the majority. But we weren’t back then either.
