Yeah, once we had invented proper tablets and smartphones, those things are so intuitive that I have seen videos of monkeys figuring out how to use them.

We got the sweet spot. Having to know how to program the VCR and cable boxes gave us a leg up on troubleshooting, and DOS just sealed the deal. Never thought I would be thankful for all those frustrating days.

Anybody else here remember being the kid that knew how to set up VCRs for their grandparents and parents? LOL

I learned how the cables worked so that I could get my NES to work on the TV. Sometimes you'd have to wire it through the VCR and so I learned how the VCR worked. Then I was a wizard to the old people

That is about the only animal testing I approve of.

Can't wait for companies to put "So easy to use, even a monkey could do it" sticker on their tablets.
