I mean, I get it for some people but this is a case where, at least I think it depends. Like, I dont begrudge my old grandma for not getting computers... she barely handles her phone.

With that said, I do agree that at least some modicum of tech knowledge is simply advantageous for your own success in a world dominated by technology.

Like, Im on Linux and replace my own PC parts. I dont think Im particularly techadept but I know some of the very basics and how to troubleshoot. Im just aware that a lot of folks don’t.

    My parents manage to use it regularly even though I put Firefox as their standard browser in everything. They will then complain about the ads on the internet.

    Literally once a month this happens.

    i'm mostly thinking of people with spreadsheet or email jobs in the last 20 years. the only thing worse than the lack of curiosity is design standards that go out of their way to infantilize users and actively prevent learning.
