not just computers. whenever i visit home and my mom or sister want to watch netflix i have to be the one to plug in the hdmi cord for them from the ps4. i've showed them how to do it dozens of times but they somehow zone it out and would rather bother me and wait then figure it out.

Digital signals are in theory a boon. but digital signals wrapped in DRM is a hot mess best avoided.
