Voyager's mission parameters and expectations have only decreased since 1977, it will never be required to run newer software or investigate new objects. It is winding down and is just sending back enough data that we can use our more powerful Earth-based computers to detect the most subtle changes to the cosmic medium.

Meanwhile, we have a constantly accelerating global marketplace of new software and new ways of both working and playing games. If ya'll were operating on a system designed to stay functional for 40+ years you would not like that system.

All that said, we do have a pretty bad problem with bloatware and software/hardware companies colluding to leverage consumers to buy and upgrade phones and computers more than necessary.

I just don't think it's a fair comparison if we were to get really pedantic and serious about a joke meme.

Yeah, there aren't many hackers in space.
