    1982 was the year the video game market crashed in an endless sea of dog shit shovelware, she had a point.

      She made the common blunder of making long term hyperbolic predictions based on short term trends and immediate events.

    Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, Oregon Trail, and Math Blaster were some of the first games I ever played. All very educational and also helped me understand computers.

    I remember the majority of business owners in my city telling me that the Internet was a fad. People are stupid.

        Oh for sure. It’s understandable to be threatened by it. It’s not understandable to pretend it’s a worthless fad. Some of the statements I see here make me wonder how ridiculously bad some people must be at prompting the AI.
