I don’t know if that’s true either. Exposure to computing in the 80s or pre-internet 90s as a child would be a small minority of households enjoying the existing tooling, manuals, guides, games, and interfaces built by innovators before their time. It makes no sense to argue an economy was built on these households in particular, especially when tech is so much more diverse than whatever minority of families were able to afford spending a ton of money on in-home computing devices in a set of time.
