They absolutely did. Back in the early 2000 everyone in my friend group would tell their parents that they needed a powerful PC for schoolwork and that's how they got gaming PCs.
- coldtea 2y agoYes, so still: it's not like kids ever wanted computers for schoolwork in general. Saying they wanted computers for schoolwork, is another matter.
- KeplerBoy 2y agoSure, that's true. Growing up without access to a proper computer still seems weird to me. How do we expect kids to build computing literacy?
- ghaff 2y agoCertainly I never developed any computer literacy growing up--and, indeed in college. And I worked in the computer industry most of my adult life.
- KeplerBoy 2y agoI'm not sure how to interpret your comment. Do you think kids should be exposed to proper computers or do you think it doesn't matter and can always be picked up later.
