Apparently something I’ve speculated about is already occurring, as general purpose computing disappears.

The truth is, kids can’t use general purpose computers, and neither can most of the adults I know. There’s a narrow range of individuals whom, at school, I consider technically savvy. These are roughly the thirty to fifty year-olds that have owned a computer for much of their adult lives.

GP computers are the most powerful devices any human has ever been given. Most people barely use a small fraction of their power. Even me. That they will effectively disappear in my lifetime de jure or de facto is quite sad.
