    I know plenty of people born after 1985 who have no idea how to use a keyboard, let alone a PC.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Are you saying that people born after 1985 don't know how to type in paragraphs or only type in paragraphs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,953 ✭✭✭aujopimur


    Do you have to plug it in to the new fangled electric.

    But your answer will not shed any light as it will be open to interpretation...

    I am all for typing in paragraphs.

    On a related matter. Can we possibly reduce the "text typing".
    Text typing was to introduced because mobile phones had such restrictive keyboards. Computers have full and friendly keyboards!

    Was born in 1978 and got the interwebs in 1996 on my gatway 2000 savage pc with 1.3gb hardrive and 128mb of ram with a 28.8k modem.The internet wasn't great at the time ,I mainly used it for IRC which was the style at the time.I started playing doom and then quake came out ,then I stumbled across online gaming with quake and QuakaPalooza in 1998 which was created by DeVore.

    When 2000 hit the interwebs was getting good and I was DJ'ing at the time so it was great to be able to order all these white label tracks off Juno and HTFR.com before people had them.
