For reruns in Argentina, nothing beats Disney's Zorro. It's a full-on revered classic here.

I met numerous 20- and 30- somethings in the 90s who had no idea either. When asked why they didn't know where did they save the documents they "lost", they usually answered that they hadn't studied Computer Sciences and therefore they didn't have any reason to know (!).

Appelations to learn to use better their tools usually got nowhere.

Meh, who knows. The change from millibars was quite a while ago.

Replace wirh whatever country the US wants to steal resources from. Still valid.

The last one will be it's online status.

Not necessarily. People keep being burned by the same scams over and over.
