Commodore 64 BASIC. If you have to know the simple parts of the language to use the computer, then you have a great incentive to learn. I blame point-and-click for the degeneration of general computer usage skills. There used to be a need for some intellectual grasp of the tool to use it; now we have a bunch of kindergarteners with rocket launchers who never learned to aim away from their own face before pulling the trigger.

If someone choose to make a product and have DRM to protect it, when it is out there for consumers, they have a choice to buy it or leave it.

If all the software tools a person uses to make a living suddenly have DRM, they cannot "choose to leave it". That is their life. A person can't just pack up and do something entirely different.
