    That may have been true 20 years ago, but it’s not necessarily true now. Young millennials had unbridled access to the internet. Most of us grew up using desktop PC and knew their intricacies for the most part. Hell, we had to use CSS and HTML for MySpace.

    The current generation has always had relatively limited access to the internet, and most have used it off of phones or tablets their whole lives.

    It’s a spectrum in most cases anyway. The average person in any generation is computer illiterate.

      Making it harder for users to install any program of their choice only adds fuel to the fire. Banning something on the internet adds oxidizer. Thanks to my stupid govenment of militant pensioners, I learned English to an extent enough for writing this comment and how to use tor.

      Probably because standards of literacy change. Same happend with electricity.
