I’m pretty sure the author of the post would have had a similar trajectory had he been growing up now. People who are innately curious and self motivated will always find a Linux networking tutorial. Even if it comes in a form of a TikTok video and not a bunch of burned CDs.
There is an upper bound to the amount of information that can be easily conveyed through a TikTok video, and given the platform's focus on short-form content, it is not very high; likely, it is much, much lower than a book or manual or other form of written documentation.
The media we use today constrain the density and quality of information they can convey, and not in a positive fashion.
Oh yeah no doubt. I'm more talking the specifics of the phrase "raised by the internet" and what it would mean to me, without the context of the article.
