What I'm saying is that being a 'power user' is not a static thing, it's relative. It changes and evolves (or downgrades) over time.

But most importantly, and what the author missed, is that it works both ways. I know how to connect to a BBS, but I was literally paralysed by the fact that there is no LAN game in Counter-Strike 2. Where is LAN?! Why do I need a Steam account for every player to play with friends sitting in the same room? Why would I even need external servers for this?

idk, it's a modern world and I don't belong to it, so perhaps we should accept the slow death of 90s or 00s 'power users', and the rise of new 'power users' of the 20s, who won't even know what floppy disk icon on the Save button means.

That is totally fair. I never really looked at it that way before. I just see it as another blob of skills to add to my growing list of useless knowledge. :)
