    This is so whack. I don’t get it, but it strikes me as true for many people 5-10 years younger than me. I’m the opposite. I want to use my desktop for everything and I’d sooner use a dumbphone/laptop combo than a smartphone with no computer. One thing I will never do on a phone is game. Sure, snake in the doctors office is one thing, but mobile gaming is so trash and scammy and bullshit that I just can’t have any fun.

      Again I would like to clarify these are people who don’t continue further education after high school. Many have access to their parents computers but simply don’t use it or realistically know how or care.

      People tend to think everyone is like everyone they know. All my friends PC game. All my friends have computers. There’s large swaths of people in different social circles where console and mobile gaming is all they do. Hell many of my young people barely have email. They only look in email if we force them to for onboarding documents
