> Learning something for work isn't the same as having one at home that you can play with growing up Before you said we were talking about society. Society doesn't care about people's hobbies. > That is a good point, add "increases the burden for people to enter university" and "increases the divide between those with degrees and without" to the lists of problems this causes. Do you have any support at all for these statements? It seems to me that more people than ever have access to computers, at younger ages. When I was at university in the late 90's people didn't bring laptops, now elementary school kids do. And every other boy is addicted to Fortnite.

> Before you said we were talking about society. Society doesn't care about people's hobbies. Society is built out of people; people are in large part built out of their hobbies as kids. TL;DR: You're wrong. > It seems to me that more people than ever have access to computers, at younger ages. When I was at university in the late 90's people didn't bring laptops, now elementary school kids do. And every other boy is addicted to Fortnite. My kid has had a laptop for school work since he started högstadiet (9th year), and is addicted not to Fortnite but, uh, "CS GO" I think (though on another laptop)... And (despite my occasional attempts to impart some knowledge) he knows fuck-all about what we would consider basic computer usage. TL;DR: You're still wrong.
