However, things changed a lot around the time of Windows 95 which was the next operating system after MS-DOS and with each successive operating system it was harder and harder if you had a technical background like me to access anything you wanted to do.
Why did this change happen over time?
The first reason is hackers started to be a problem when the Internet got going.
The 2nd reason is that people are more easy to manipulate if you don't let them be intelligent by the way you design your operating systems.
So, as there were more users they were able to do actually less and less (from a technical point of view) in their lives with personal computers. From a pure users point of view it might have seemed wonderful but if you were technically educated around computers at all it was awful they way users were shut out of what they could actually do to protect themselves regarding computers in general.
And so the ongoing abuse of users began in earnest by companies like Facebook, Google etc. worldwide and it continues to today.
A good example of how people were manipulated through history would be how the Catholic Church did all their liturgies in Latin to prevent most Catholics from even knowing what was being said by priests during Catholic Services worldwide.
By preventing the masses from having any real knowledge of church services because most people didn't know Latin for hundreds of years they were able to keep this knowledge from the masses in general. The exact same thing is going on in relation to software worldwide as a way of manipulating and controlling the masses worldwide.
I'm not trying to speak against the Catholic church here. I'm just using their manipulation of their masses as an illustration of how tech companies also manipulate their masses towards ignorance of what is good for them or not.

As time has moved on this has just gotten worse and worse regarding operating systems worldwide to the point where I worry about humans having any human rights or freedom at all regarding any aspect of their lives by 2100.
For example, the lack of privacy we all presently experience through smartphones and computers etc. would have been enough to cause rioting in the 1950s when I grew up. Of course people were much more prone to riot in those days regarding their rights than now.
Human rights in general have become very Blurred at best by what has occurred since about 1980 when the first personal computers were created by I believe IBM and Apple.
But, it is also true that I owned a TRS-80 put out by Radio Shack that I purchased for 800 dollars in 1978 which was a 4k computer with a Cassette recorder to record whatever programs you wrote for it in the Basic Language. Because everything disappeared every time you turned off the TRS-80. So, you played the program into the TRS-80 when you turned it on the next time.
So, many people didn't understand how they were losing especially their rights of privacy in the beginning around 1980. But, since then people have become aware how much they have lost of their human rights worldwide. I think the worst place on earth for human rights now is China because of people being watched, especially in cities 24 hours a day by the government computers and video cameras wherever they are. It could become like this worldwide by 2100 which would be horrific for everyone and likely lead to the end of life on earth as a natural consequence of that like has already happened on many other planets and even here on earth in other ages between ice ages.
