Feels like it doesn't it? I enjoyed taking apart and fixing the family computer as a kid but it was also out of necessity. If it wasn't me? Then who else would or could?

I'm still trying to decide if it's a "when I was a kid I used to clean my own carburetor" situation. Like, is it a "back in my day men were men and we fixed our computers by hand", or more so, there's just not a need to dig into computers unless you enjoy it like any other hobby.

I fix my own computer and my own car ...for me, it's a poverty thing!

I don't think the meme should be exclusively about building/fixing PCs though. Half the young people starting in our business show the same ineptitude as my parents when tasks with clicking stuff.
