I was the electronics guy at walmart and just...holy shit the kids buying laptops. A lot didn't even know how to work the keyboard. They would touch a non touchscreen laptop then ask me 'if it isn't touch screen then how do you work it'. Thats just one of a million amazing questions I got.

I know a bit of it is....iono...location bias? Most kids who know computers are probably shopping online or microcenter or something but still.
