@Frink Hi there! Personally, I think that keeping discussing such things itself might avoid a dystopian society.
Perhaps its not even so important who's right or wrong, as long people do retain critical thinking and remain capable of cognitive self-reflection.
Because nothing is worse than indifference.
About the old story about being able to afford a computer or not: Good point. Maybe I'm wrong, that's fine.
But how to get an definitive answer to something that has no records/numbers being documented?
I mean, owning isn't even a criteria, maybe.
There were and are many kids that have no game console but play video games at a friend's house or at the arcades.
Same goes for computers. There were/are people who use(d) them at workplace or at a friend's house or relative's home.
Personally, I just noticed that many people I talked to in my country/region/social circle did fondly remember using a C64.
Many weren't even into computing hobby but were ordinary people.
They had them at school in the computer room (-or computer lab, IT class, whatever-) or used the C64 in the children's bedroom as a typewriter etc.
Such things. Same goes for DOS PCs or 90s era PCs in general.
I remember ordinary people mentioning Norton Commander or making jokes about doing a "FORMAT C:" to clean up a PC. Such things.
The memory managment and driver installation alone was a whole story on its own (MemMaker, autoexec.bat, config.sys).
Ordinary people were not excepted from this! They had to figure it out, simply.
I'm not trying to say everyone had owned a PC or home computer, but that people who had to get along with one had a learning curve.
They had to invest mental work to operate it, buy a book, enter a course etc.
Even if it was just an application specific thing (WordStar, Lotus 1-2-3, MS Office, MS Works etc).
And what they learned often stuck with them, which was good.
Commonsense, a rich vocabulary and some general knowledge don't hurt.
The world might have a need for autodidacts more than it has for A.I., who knows?
