honestly, young people these days are smarter than you give them credit for. multi-core and threading is something that pretty much anyone on the internet “gets” conceptually, even if not on an engineering level.
You believe the audience for a blog about being tired of multi-tasking is young people, from this new generation that is always multi-tasking (on the smartphone, talking to multiple people, etc)?
You honestly believe they need a metaphor like "single thread versus multi-thread" to grasp the idea of what doing multiple things at the same time means, practically?
If you do, ok then. Who am I to disagree?
I still think none of this makes sense, and the metaphor sucks.
I understand processor architectures and I would have preferred the use of the word "in-order" processor over "old single core from the 90s", since in-order CPUs are still being designed and manufactured today.
