The ad plays on the idea that kids will one day live in a world where the damn word, "computer" is foreign to them. A bit extreme, for sure. Queue the inevitable triggering, because it's 2018, and we all need something to get ourselves worked up over.

Like Apply smugly believes that they're on the cusp of changing the world's lexicon for computer to their product. I feel bad for the girl though, people hate her now and she's just trying to get an acting career going.
