I've heard that, but hackers usually go for the masses -- I wonder if there will be enough "NeverTenners" to make it worth their while.
On the other hand, what else to 13 year old boys have to do these days?
Internet porn and video games?

As long as it is financially feasible for Microsoft to continue to release patches, they will never get rid of Win 7. Heck, the Navy still uses XP for a few of their systems...

Which Microsoft OS was it that had their system blue-screening on missile frigates, leaving them "dead in the water"?
(or am I misremembering that?)
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The interwebz was pretty much the exclusive territory of the military and a few other government agencies back when I was a a young teen and Pong was possibly the only video game back then (if that).

And academics. You could FTP into ARPANET in the early 80s with a link from BITNET, pretty much the only way you could access the NCSA Crays at UI-Urbana without being onsite. By the late 80s, the Crays were using topline IBM 3090 600s just for I/O.

Your phone is faster than those machines now.
Yup - I had a 300 baud modem that let me dial (literally, of course) into Sam Houston University's computer lab and be on a very rudimentary text-only bulletin board, and the highlight was watching a "movie" of Godzilla's foot crushing King Kong (might have my characters wrong, but Godzilla was one of them) in an incredibly crude slow motion graphic.
I was thrilled when I upgraded to 1200 baud!

Neither of us were teens during any part of the 80s.
I do remember going to where my father worked back in the early 70s where they had the computer room in which some giant monstrosity used punch cards.

Bambi Meets Godzilla.gif
The original took a bit longer until Bambi was squashed with the credits taking far longer than the movie ending with Godzilla flexing its claws at the very end.
