I completely blame ChromeOS.
Even on AD snafu'd windows, the first thing we all did was figure out how to bypass any block and do what we wanted to.
Kids are growing up not knowing there are things you can do aside from accessing the internet and loading crappy webpages.
I came here to say something similar. It's not merely tech that's to blame but the kind of tech we have today. Kids are being raised to be consumers of tech and tech services. They don't have basic fundamentals that millenials had to learn to access porn on dialup.
Once you had the phone line to yourself it was easy, just dial out and open cracked limewire or bearshare, then simply click the first horny thing you see, like:
-br1tney_nud3s_14.4k friendly-.exe -filesize 66kb
I was the kid my friends' dads would call to fix the PC (because SOMEHOW - "A hacker put a virus on there"), before their wives got back home. Made some nice extra cash!
There are even people writing 'software' who don't know that.
Wait I don't get it. How is this possible?
I'm so fucking happy I'm not the only one who has noticed that.
jesus christ we're so fucked.
