Everything was so fragile. You'd break things, learn, fix them for the time being, until the next thing broke. Computing today is far less stressful-somehow reminds me of how vehicles today take next-to-zero mechanical knowledge to operate, whereas not all that long ago you needed to know a mechanic and be reasonably handy yourself to keep them running smoothly. Now things just work. That's broadly better. But I have to wonder how many of us would be in tech if we hadn't tinkered with tech growing up.
