This reminds me of the late 90s computer illiteracy... the monitor was the "computer", and the computer was the "hard drive" :)

Today everything is a router.

It probably is to some extent, too.

My router is a firewall, VPN, DNS server, file server, print server, media server, and Docker host. Like, what can't it do?

BTW, I don't use most of those services but it's advertised with them.

I owned a computer in the 1990s that was a monitor that sat on top of a hard drive. It was an Apple SE/30 with an external SCSI drive beneath it.

If my career is built on illiteracy… I am simultaneously depressed at my ineptitude and astonished at how far I’ve taken it.

Well, seeing that a modern Apple monitor has the guts of an iPhone 11 and runs a version of iOS…
