    My point is that my experience in my life, to now, across two decades, was drastically different. People still didn’t bring a laptop to the community college I went to that year either, I had never seen or heard of it as a practice until later.

    I returned back to school about five years later and laptops in classes was common.

    We somehow seem to have had drastically different experiences she perspectives from a broadly large geographic region.

    For additional perspective my typing class in 1999 used an actual typewriter, not a computer, so socioeconomic factors of my own high school experience and the area I grew up may have actually been that different and potentially atypical to even surrounding areas, it’s hard to tell.

      That could certainly explain some things seemingly drastically different over that 20 year period for you I suppose then.

        I grew up in one of the wealthiest communities on earth, i am likely older than you based on what you have said here, and I cannot see how you could be in your forties and not see that things can change very quickly. The other guy’s relative lower income isn’t the cause of our shared beliefs.
