| Mar 18, 2018 at 19:04 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | From Help: What types of questions should I avoid asking?: "You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page." Specifically your questions should be about computer hardware or software (within the scope of the site) that you have available in front of you and can actually use. What you should learn is a meatware problem, not a software or hardware one. | |
| Mar 18, 2018 at 19:04 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | On top of the reasons outlined by Twisty your question is essentially asking for opinions of how the world will be in 20 years time and how you should prepare. That isn't really a problem with computers, it's a problem with you fitting in to the world as it will exist. Questions should preferably be about problems you are currently facing so that they do not devolve into guesses and conjecture. | |

Also, the canned comment for each close reason sometimes isn't a good explanation for a specific case. Some questions can be a bad fit for the site for multiple different reasons and reviewers pick one basis. At least my own close vote was because the question wasn't on-topic for the site (which I elaborated on in a comment on the question). | |
