While I share a lot of the frustration voiced in this piece it also reeks of someone who wouldn't allow anyone to drive a car without knowing how to swap the engine in their garage. "Reinstall Windows" is even worse than "just drop in a new engine". You're going to lose all the memories of the roads you drive on daily in the process. Good luck kid. Kids need to be educated better about these things but it takes tremendous amounts of time and patience (that a lot of parents simply can't find) to properly train kids in this way. People like the author and myself did that to ourselves, out of our own curiousity and more importantly, intrinsic motivation. It's simply completely pointless to expect every person to use a tool as ubiquitous as a computer or a car to be this deeply invested and interested in the operation. If we manage to get all users to be able to swap a tire we would already have come a long long way.
