I think the real difference is that the excitement came from the technology being brand new. In the 80s this was the future. The future has been around a long time now, and that turns it into the past. Oldies such as us are quite into the past, but kids not so much. The generation before us, it was all electronics and radios. Kids today want to make the kind of games they play. Except that’s not really possible of course. Roblox, youtube, that’s the kind of thing they can actually do _and_ is the future as they see it. Poor kids. Robotics is the edge I’m trying to push; better than that other crap at least.
