    I’ve met young adults that don’t know how to type with ten fingers, that have never touched a desktop pc and can’t properly explain the differences between an OS, a browser and a search engine

      Which, of course, was the goal of manufacturers all along. First computer you used a lot was a Chromebook? Google is all of those things. Was it a Windows 8 or later system? They damn near are the same thanks to web search integration with the start menu that only nerds like me care about disabling.
