      I agree. I’m also very sad when I see small kids watching YouTube videos on tablets; that’s pretty much all they do.

      Where’s the fun of tinkering? Trying to build things? Trying fixing problems, such as formatting?

      Kids don’t even have the concept of files and folders. We’re raising a generation of digital slaves.

      smartphones are a black box.

      Many Android phones still have a bit of that tinkering ability to them (you kinda have access to the file system, and you can root them/flash custom android distros), but it’s quickly diminishing because (1) OEMs are locking the bootloaders, (2) it’s getting harder and harder to get hardware working without proprietary OEM hacks, (3) bank apps and other proprietary garbage that’s becoming a necessity in modern times refuses to run on an unlocked phone.
