The nerdy boomers built computers as we know them.
That’s like saying that nerdy millenials invented mRNA vaccines. A very small percentage of the population worked on them while the rest weren’t even aware they existed for most of that time.
As we knew them, not as we know them.
You know what I mean.
But you don’t know what I mean. Computers as most people know them now are tablets and cell phones. I blame X and the elder millennials for that.
Well, at a low level they are still basically the same. x86 still starts in 16-bit real mode. Mice still use USB 1 from the 90s.
Mostly it’s just a lot faster and covered with more layers of abstraction.
