My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

What’s really crazy is that even $1 microcontrollers are faster than that 486 these days, and I’m pretty sure some of them are capable of running Java themselves. I was going to say something like “you have to go really small, e.g. ATtiny, to find something you need to use C on,” but nope, even those can (sort of) run Java!
Not to mention the fact that you can run an entire desktop OS much more sophisticated than Windows 95 was on a $5 Raspberry Pi Zero…
