Remember in the 90s, when teens were more tech savvy than adults, and everyone assumed that the savviest would just keep getting younger? Now it's 2017, and the people who were teens in the 90s are the most tech savvy generation and probably will be until they die.

Kids don't grow up with computers any more, they grow up with iPhones. If it's possible to learn to code on an iPhone, it's despite Apple's best efforts.

@mogwai_poet closed operating systems wont produce a skilled future generation of tech savvy individuals but that's what anyone is doing when buying their kids Osx/WinX devices. I remember installing win95 with 60+ floppy disks, you had to know what you were doing a little bit and that opened me to other knowledge & today i'm on Archlinux because I never stopped learning :)
