either wayThats because design has become so simplified and abstracted that it's makes you avoid anything more technical outside of anything. I also have said this before but with the rise of the GUI it has led so much anxiety and fear over the spooky terminal that it caused everyone to collectively loose the computing skills they were taught before. Hell, the Apple II's main gimmick was it's literal ability to be opened up and your ability to extend the life and ability of the computer. You don't see that at all from Apple at all!!

Back then we had people using fucking DOS and it's various version especially being educated on these environments. If you thought Excel was hard, look at this shit:

It's not that people were smarter back then because let me tell you, people back then didn't even know how to properly turn on a PC and had to go through like 50 pgs of a fucking manual just to get some parts of DOS functional. The truth is as computers became less of a commodity and more of a necessity, Desktop environments and hardware had to comply with this sudden influx of people. People aren't as "techy" as we'd want and trust me I think it's perfectly fine to have a bigger mass of people who are completely unaware of hardware and software rather than have a billion people know how to wireshark into a coffee shop and watch what you're searching up. I'd rather have now than have a complete security hellhole where a thousand people know how to access your network or some shit.
Besides my point and sudden argument, I always blame one company for all the tech woes and issues: Apple. (and I always will). They're not the most evil company in the universe but they're most

Blame it on a thousand things, the flat designs, the restrictive computers that won't let you open up without a dozens of screw types and a fucking heat gun to even their attitudes on self repair. They are the sole source of the plateau the industry has experienced lately. Nothing is as good as Apple so why even try? Just drop a clone and that'll get a few people because "it's just like iPhone or MacBook" meanwhile, enthusiasts can go eat ass the second you want to do anything at all. That is why society has stagnated. Everything is simple now. it's the apple way now. Flat boring, and easy to use. A shitty bicycle for the mind because you can't even change the chains on the bike.
Anyways thats my weekly schizo rant.
(oh almost forgot one more point in defense of zoomers a bit, its the same reason why people don't know tech as much. It's not a hobby and doesn't really impact them so why bother. If it works, why try to fix it. People got better things to do and want to spend as little time on a PC as possible.)
