    Skill issue. People cannot just passively expect to understand a complicated thing without applying themselves.

    If they can’t use a computer, they can’t use a computer.

      Using != fixing.

      Do you need to learn how to drive (“use”) a car? Absolutely. Do you need to have intricate knowledge of its inner workings and be able to fix even the smallest component in case it breaks? No. That’s for enthusiasts.

        Hard disagree. Less people should drive, they have no mechanical sympathy and scant grasp of what they’re doing.

        Its just as a society we’ve decided to enable them because it meant we could sell cars.

          I whole-heartedly support helping people get more tech literate. I just doubt that the kind of elitism you’re displaying is the way to get there.
