It’s very ironic that when the internet and phones came out, females were busy mocking and insulting males for using them.

And now generations of females shamelessly use these things and their entire lives revolve around it, excluding everything else.

That’s because when that technology first came out, it was DIFFICULT TO USE and actually REQUIRED A BRAIN to use it! Only men were smart enough and dedicated enough to be able to use it. As a 5 year old tinkering with MSDOS and rebuilding old computers, I can tell you that NONE of the females around me (adults or kids) were messing with that stuff.

Now that MEN have improved the technology so that even a MONKEY can use it, all women have to do is mindlessly click/tap and get instant gratification. Now you can’t pull them away from that crap.

I remember MS-DOS. Everything was on command line, if you didn’t understand all the commands and have an idea what was on the computer and what you could run, you really couldn’t do much of anything.

I taught myself Basic at the time, and wrote up menu programs that I’d run on launch. These menu programs had pretty much ever command possible and it was a simple matter of picking an option from a menu. I wrote up descriptions as well and made things very user friendly.

It was the only way the vast majority of people could do anything. Once I set it up that way, people would love using it, but they never even understood how much work and effort something “so simple” takes. Of course nowadays I’m sure there are easier ways to do things like that, but I was and still am not a programmer, so I just figured out things on my own and implemented them.

I even spent time working on ASCII art to make it more user friendly.

Nowadays everyone just uses smartphones, and like you say it’s so easy monkeys can use it, so women love it. They have absolutely no idea how any of it works however, and if anything goes wrong they’re clueless. But they’re all convinced they’re tech savvy, which is ridiculous.

It’s probably the competition for higher victim status and attention.

Actually both ripped off xerox.

It would appear that you are correct. Now I had never heard of a xerox personal computer. But according to this wikipedia article they had the GUI with mouse.

At Apple innovation must mean borrowing.

Engelbart’s work directly led to the advances at Xerox PARC. Several people went from SRI to Xerox PARC in the early 1970s. In 1973, Xerox PARC developed the Alto personal computer. It had a bitmapped screen, and was the first computer to demonstrate the desktop metaphor and graphical user interface (GUI). It was not a commercial product, but several thousand units were built and were heavily used at PARC, as well as other XEROX offices, and at several universities for many years. The Alto greatly influenced the design of personal computers during the late 1970s and early 1980s, notably the Three Rivers PERQ, the Apple Lisa and Macintosh, and the first Sun workstations.

Same here. I used to go to the library. Which I can’t even remember the last time I went. But as a kid I learned Basic and tried coding.
Was just beginner level stuff. It was still a lot of fun.
