Teenagers React to Windows 95

I was shocked and uncharmed.

Most of their reactions betrayed some really fundamental misconceptions about computing, which I haven't really seen since the nineties (exhibited by grandparents). Would they know the difference between a program and its shortcut? Local vs. remote code execution? How could any system primarily controlled by users like these be secure? (Yes, I know, walled-gardens and sandboxes.)

More importantly, that video makes me feel old and crotchety, and I'm not even thirty yet.

That was genuinely charming. I really enjoyed it. It is good to be reminded how good things are now.

At least "Ethan" seems to know what's going on.

It's strange how many of these kids seem to think that "Wifi" is the entire answer to how their home is connected to the internet.
