> practical differences in youth would be non-computing and a generation or two earlier
I agree with that one, but that was not part of the discussion.
Maybe TV's existed in the '50, but in the rural areas of Flanders, not a lot of people had one.
For me, the move from no electronics to electronics, seems bigger than the move from electronics to everything is computer. That you play a VCR tape or mp4 isn't that different. That you play a cassette or mp3 is also not that different. It's details compared to not being able to play anything at all.
