@TheJen@beige.party I personally am, me, the actual person who built the networks that connected millions of schoolchildren to the Internet for the first time in the mid-late 1990s, all over New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. I personally designed and built the networks and the systems.
If you were in New Jersey, Eastern PA, or northern DE K-12 schools in the mid-90s to mid-2000s, there's a good possibility I built your school system's networks with my own brain, back, and two hands.

@TheJen@beige.party I have already forgotten more about computers than most of the youngsters saying those things now will ever learn in their lives. Not to disparage them, it's just that you don't actually need to know how computers work to get use out of them, and you really shouldn't have to.

@gcvsa@mstdn.plus I graduated high school in 1991. In Texas. So no. :)
