Just reminded me how far computing has come in such a short time. I remember writing code on a bbc micro to control a circuit board traffic light. Dot matrix printers, although punch cards had just gone out when I was learning. Or the first internet we got, watch the boobs appear 1 pixel row at a time. And now I am typing this out on a phone which probably has more power than a spaceship from that era!

In all seriousness, even though computers might be prevalent in society, while it might change the wording of the interview questions, it certainly doesn't change the validity of questioning one's knowledge on computing or computers in general.
Everything didn't become the "internet of things" overnight, but it's still a process going on of which people may choose to be "blissfully ignorant".
...and the first boob we got wasn't 1 pixel at a time. Back in the day when daisy-wheel printers generated type-writer like print-out, there were some rather good artists who could create some really good photos using only ASCII characters on a single font.
Sometimes you just had to take a step back to appreciate it.

Every sentence can be well formed... if you treat words as being of a different class than what they're intended to be. Ignore the misspelling of "their" and imagine "born" in the thread title to be a noun rather than the likely intended verb that is actually defined in English. Now you need to figure out what the noun "born" means.

Come on, which is more likely: that he accidentally mistyped TWO words in a six-word topic title, or that he is proposing that children have developed some kind of alternative thought process relating to a person named Thier Born? Your typo theory just doesn't make sense!
