  • This is an older story, but I installed Xubuntu on an ssd in my boomer parents Vista era computer to keep it running. They really didnt know the difference, my mom only played solitaire while Thunderbird was managable for my dad. My millenial neice and nephews had no idea either, I’d find exe files they would download, but noone ever said anything about why they didnt work anymore. They have no idea about how computers work.

    I’m not very technical, but I had to move a jumper on my old 386 when I upgraded my modem.

    “The Time Machine is interpreted in modern times as a commentary on the increasing inequality and class divisions of Wells’ era, which he projects as giving rise to two separate human species: the fair, childlike Eloi, and the savage, simian Morlocks, distant descendants of the contemporary upper and lower classes respectively.”

    “(The Time Traveller) realizes that the Morlocks control and feed upon the Eloi.”
