Comment on Ask HN: When did computers stop being fun?

Comments

I think that the evolution of my relationship toward computers correlates with a decline in my affection for “a computer can do X” ideas. And that correlates with a self-awareness of what actually motivates me to act.

I can learn “ten things a computer can do” from twelve minutes on TicTube. But non-trivial things I am motivated to do play out over years. Also, I no longer fret missing out…fomo is a young person’s malady.
