[Info-vax] Confuse the kids!

[IanD]

I tried to edumacate my kids by showing them VMS a few years back

I showed them a VMS login and showed how when you typed commands the system churned away and responded

They looked at me typing stuff, doing a show monitor for less than 30 seconds and said "Meh, how boring" and walked off

I managed to throw in a comment about that's sort of what your tablet and phone does in the background but they couldn't care

A few years before that I showed them a video of a large DC I had to go to once and showed them all the servers lined up and even one that was very colorful and had Google on the front of it - same response, they were just not interested

Very disappointing indeed :-(
