Ah, makes sense. But then, the OP also said zoomers don't know how to dance. But, as an admittedly curmudgeonly early forty-something, I wonder if that's at least partly because so much of current pop music is garbage. Then again, I guess most of any generation's pop music has always been crap; we only remember the classics from the past.

Back to technology, though, I worry about what computing will be like for Generation Alpha (born after 2010 according to Wikipedia), including my nieces and nephew. Perhaps I didn't help matters by buying them Amazon Fire tablets when they were little, though my siblings and in-laws certainly appreciated it. I feel like intervening to get them started on some kind of more open computing platform, but I fear I might sabotage the development of a new, better computing culture if I try too hard to replicate what things were like for me growing up with an Apple II and early PCs. Edit: And no, I don't feel qualified to become a father myself so I can avoid meddling with others' kids. So I guess I'll just stay on the sidelines, watch, and try to keep my opinions to myself.
