I was shocked and uncharmed.<p>Most of their reactions betrayed some really fundamental misconceptions about computing, which I haven&#x27;t really seen since the nineties (exhibited by grandparents). Would they know the difference between a program and its shortcut? Local vs. remote code execution? How could any system primarily controlled by users like these be secure? (Yes, I know, walled-gardens and sandboxes.)<p>More importantly, that video makes me feel old and crotchety, and I&#x27;m not even thirty yet.

That was genuinely charming. I really enjoyed it. It is good to be reminded how good things are now.

At least &quot;Ethan&quot; seems to know what&#x27;s going on.<p>It&#x27;s strange how many of these kids seem to think that &quot;Wifi&quot; is the entire answer to how their home is connected to the internet.
