You aren't mistaken. I was born in 1966. I live in Germany and we always were way behind with anything Internet related. Due to the corona pandemic we now clearly see how many decades we are still behind. My bookshelves were overloaded with computer software and computer hardware books. An example I've got at hand, it's still in a bookshelf, while many books are in cartons: https://i.imgur.com/2w6OKS9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1o7399J.jpg "The Times They Are a-Changin'" we probably do not use Assembly, BASIC or Turbo Pascal to use BIOS routines. IOW we also not necessarily start learning by reading man pages, instead for the good and the bad, a search engine can be used. > Many non-technical people use google mostly, just because they never > tweak away what is in default settings.

Information that can be used for mind reading, if people don't use smart search terms. > One of my friends even made a joke: do you ask google how much money > you have left in your wallet? :D
