Even as a teenager (didn’t have a computer before that) I had infinite patience with computers, you can fix/change/make anything with enough time, nothing will be better if you get mad and ignore reading and making sure you understand what’s happening. Seeing how young people handle tech now is fucking depressing, they just click past everything without reading, get mad and rage quit after 30 seconds of something not working and think anything that’s more than two clicks/taps is too complicated.
Young, most old people I know either don’t know anything and are fine with that, they get help for even the simplest things, or they can handle it themselves without problems.
Computers have been dumbed down and simplified for the masses. When I was a kid a computer did not cooperate until you raised your voice.
Hello, COMPUTER!!!
SLAMS DESK HELLO!
FathER!
FaaaThERR!
Use the mouse, duh.
It was always a struggle to get the damn thing to do what you wanted it to. It turned out to be a good thing long term.

You talking about young people or old people?

And when that wasn’t enough, the fists came out.
I’m sure you meant “beat it into submission”.
