and yet my point still stands. Most Americans didn't understand any of that shyt, the large majority in fact.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the amount of users on ICQ bruh.
LOL
just because they may have known what a computer was doesn't mean they new what jumper settings they need to set on a secondary IDE drive to get that extra 2gb's of storage bruh.
computer literate??
lol.
2. MEG RYAN DIDN'T HAVE A COMPUTER BEFORE MAKING THE MOVIE.You've got mail was one of the top movies in 98
"I got my first computer when I did that movie," Ryan told Vanity Fair. "I think that the company gave us a computer."
even the star didn't even have a computer in '97

I'm sorry but you are being such a disingenuous little fukk right now. Being computer literate in that time frame meant you knew how to log on to your AOL account and join a chat room. Get the fukk outta here with your bullshyt. I was in my early teens in the late 90s and I was into programming and 'hacking' aka using sub7 to gain access. NO ONE had any idea that kind of stuff was possible outside of geeky tech circles. You're trying to argue that this country was technologically literate in the 90's while we had the dot com bubble which was created specifically because NO ONE KNEW WTF THEY WERE DOING WITH COMPUTERS/INTERNET.
Incorrect. Anyone using a 2gb HDD in 97 would have had a mobo that supported plug and play, a built in IDE controller, a couple PCI slots, and the only jumpers they'd use would be to set the power and frequency for the processor.
Another reason why 97 and 98 were extremely important.
The Pentium 2 was out that year. A total game changer.
I'm arguing this country was computer literate by the standard of that time.I'm sorry but you are being such a disingenuous little fukk right now.

I've coded since 92. Suggesting that's the threshold for computer literacy is dishonest.
Are you saying that now in 2917 If users aren't actively involved in stack coding are they not computer literate?
I recall having to set my secondary hard drive jumper to "slave" in order for it to be recognized by my system.but what do I know...you seem to be the coli expert on everything...so you tell me.

Nah, you said people were computer literate to the point that they could understand the CIA/NSA/FBI spying revelations as they relate to technology. That is utter bullshyt and you know it.
in 2017 almost everyone has at least 1 computer in their house and is connected to the internet.
in 1997 it wasn't even a quarter of that.
not to mention computers and software are way more easier to get around now then they were then.
most ppl were not computer literate in '97 bruh. maybe in your cohort, but not over the whole population in all demo's.
you have to look at things holistically and not just in your narrow view.
No I did not. Let's recap.
Americans computer literacy falls directly in line with the pervasiveness of personal computers.
20 years ago was 1997. That was one of the single most important years for personal computers!
Breh you just tried to say all those millions of Americans who were on AOL in the 90's were computer literate. Holy shyt you're losing your mind.
10% of Americans had computers = whole country is computer literate
Lmfao. James, how old are you?

Lmao stop it.
You said this shyt in response to my reply to Eddy Gordo where I stated Americans did not have the technological literacy to understand invasive government technology in the 90s. So, what are YOU even talking about?
