  I think you misunderstand how good with computers anyone ever was. Back then if you didn’t care to learn, you just didn’t have one.

  Now you either are interested and learn it, or you just use an iPad/iPhone. I know many, many people who never used anything more complicated than an iPad.

    There was a certain period where a lot of people really had a PC, and they learned because the PC had what they wanted. Nowadays there’s relatively little incentive.

      Yea that’s something that I thought about when I rewatched Serial Experiments Lain recently. It was made in 1998 and they correctly predicted that in the future the internet was going to become mainstream, but because the only way to access it then was with PCs they also assumed that would mean that everyone would become super interested in computers too and most of the characters have rigs that would put mine to shame. Fascinating how one didn’t require the other, which I think would have seemed unbelievable at the time.
