Having a lathe and a milling machine would be my dream. But I suspect the number of tinkerers has always remained constant. Properly understanding computers was always niche. Also, it’s impressive what you can achieve with the right combination of apps. I’m not saying you are, but it’s easy to paint the youth of today as moronic Ipad tappers, but if they can achieve what they want inside such an interface what does it really matter.
