Many of we conservatives are older and didn’t grow up in the tech revolution. Wrap your head around this, I went to high school around the time pocket calculators came into being. We were not allowed to use calculators for math class, we had to learn slide rules. Have you ever used a slide rule? This was the seventies, not some dark time.
As for being tech literate, I get by, as to the technologies I am literate in I kick ass and take names. I’m constantly learning and advancing, but at some point you need to cut you losses as you age. I don’t have space in my brain to be expert in OS or IT tech, you’ll find out.
I loved the slide rule. I used it in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. It cost me $29.00 if I remember correctly. I gave it to my son who still has it. I barely know how to use computers, the electronic revolution largely passed me by.
Right you are. The Win10 crowd is as arrogant as the worst of the Linux snobs.
I may be a bit older than you - I remember when DESKTOP calculators were first out; one of the more ultmately useless math classes was learning how to calculate functions on a slide rule. My first computer (still in the closet) ran CP/M and you didn’t learn how to make it work by searching on the internet.
