Because a lot of people are sold the idea that the bullshit machine isn’t a bullshit machine, it’s a magic “do everything” machine.

I remember being in school and being taught not to trust computers, that they can get things wrong and are only as good as the person who programmed them. It really does seem like Millenials were the only group to ever get that message hammered into them (And a lot of us didn’t listen anyway).

Hearing that information literally caused me psychic damage.

It helps we actually had computers to work on during Lab class and not Chrome books.
