    Let’s not do zomething because it’s hard pretty much sums up every new generation.

    Imagine if they said that when they had to program everything in assembly…

      Software nowadays is a lot more complex. You’d get nowhere using assembly. Are you also gonna call me lazy if I say making a smartphone from scratch is complicated? “But the Nokia 1234 only had 4kb of memory” Is what you will probably say.

        You’d get nowhere using assembly because people wanted to keep improving technology.

        The Nokia was actually build and freakin’ rock solid. Then came smartphones because people wanted to improve. It sure wasn’t easy and they didn’t go Geez, a phone from scratch? Why bother?
