My next book that I'm working on is basically a course on how to use the freebasic programming language, but the scaffolding of the book is going to be about the history of personal computing and all of the little things that you need to know about how computers actually work.

It is exactly as you say, a lot of kids are growing up constantly being praised for how good they are with computers, but in reality they're completely incompetent at computers and they're just good at Facebook or YouTubes app.
