I'm part of the generation that helped their parents with the computer printer and now I'm helping my kids with the printer...

I have to help myself with the printer. I've been guerilla publishing for a long time. I used to make plates for the xerox machine, half toned, collage work and manual or type script.
I used to dream about digital publishing. It's still not easy. It's still takes patience.
Sadly, that kind of ambition is lost with this generation... I have multiple examples of it in my life every day...
I used to tinker with my desktop computer when I was 12 years old, configure hardware drivers for devices such as CGA/VGA cards, audio, and printers of all kind. Later I did the same working on my car when I was 16. For me this was entertainment and much more fascinating than kids and their "doom-scrolling".
The youth are taught the authority is rebellion. Total 1984 nonsense.
But there are some good eggs out there, too.
Mostly it's devolution.
It's the food, entertainment, games, mindless consumption disguised as choice.
But alas it's always a minority in history who moves the mountains.
Hence the word pyramid is the fire in the middle.
