most of us!
we have made it difficult to show our games and stuff to friends. except for minecraft and game mods. that's why kids gravitate towards those.
as a side note, i was thinking last time that programming is difficult to teach nowadays because when you boot your computer or phone, it doesn't drop you into a shell or command prompt.
so few people nowadays know that you can actually give commands to your computer or phone. so the concepts is not familiar to most!
