I think the article is wrong about two things. The iPad generation is less tech savvy. They grew up with tech that just worked. They don't know of IRQ conflicts or SCSI termination.

Also, I laugh at that quote from the 21 year old. Ah the arrogance of youth. They act like their generation invented social justice. They only know of social justice because they've been brainwashed into it. Which of course requires it to have been invented more than 21 years ago.

The word iToddler /g/ likes to use a lot is pretty apt. They just don't know how to troubleshoot any issue, they don't know that some stuff can be sketchy. I've seen this with a family member who thankfully always asks me about those things otherwise he'd have fucked up stuff more than I can count on one hand.

I don't think anyone born past the early to mid 90's seriously struggled with any kind of tech, so they can't troubleshoot. I feel like an old man preferring PCs to mobile crap, but at least I'm able to figure shit out if either malfunctions. I just don't understand how anyone can prefer a mobile interface over a good old point and click GUI. Mobile is fine when I don't have access to my laptop, but the laptop is far more useful.

There's also a portion of doing that sort of activity and getting it formated and working that doesn't seem to be part of the "common Z experience"

What I mean to say is the last time I was sick and stayed home from work I spent 8 hours straight trying to get a stupid Candyland cereal box game from when i was a kid to work on my computer. The process included installing Windows 3 in dos-box, before eventually giving up and running a virtual windows 98 machine in PCem, which I had never used before.

Last night I spent 3 hours getting Marvel Ultimate Alliance to work on my computer with mods and all from scratch. Even though I HAVE a fully set up copy in my backpack on a hard drive.

I haven't even played it now that it's working.

It's a different era/mindset.

PnP and ACPI were a godsend. Fuck all that jumper bullshit back then.

They definitely were after the bugs were worked out.

They didn't call it "Plug 'n' Pray" in the early days for no reason.

At least a jumper gave us a method to make something work instead of being helpless to fix a firmware issue.
