- MarcScott 5y agoI just reread my own blog post and it makes me cringe a little, but nevermind. I was younger and angrier back then. However my point still stands, that digital literacy is on the decline. Having said that, I've raised four children and two of them are quite comfortable striping a computer down, reinstalling an operating system, using a CLI and SSHing into a remote Linux server to run Minecraft and CSGO. It's my current job to teach kids how to use computers, and I think we're making some progress.
