>I’m increasingly concerned about the future of personal computing. It seems that there is a trend toward increasingly locked-down devices that serve the vendor rather than the user. I feel like tech companies are constricting their future talent pools by doing this. But maybe they want to kill their future competition too. You already get university students now who don't know what files and folders are, which they need before moving into the basics of navigating a command line or source tree. Usable and accessible computers are great. But locking them down to the point of eliminating user agency and learning seems really shortsighted.
