I personally blame apple for a lot of the tech illiteracy in the younger generations.

This is why Right To Repair is a big deal. Not just because it reduces waste by fixing what might have been thrown away, not just because it allows you to do what you want with the device that you supposedly own, and not just because it breaks the monopoly and requires pricing of repair services to actually be competitive - although all those things are important. It's also because if a device can be repaired, some people will be encouraged to learn how to repair it, and in doing so they'll learn a valuable problem-solving mindset. We need to be mindful of how we first introduce young people to technology to avoid this learned helplessness and instil the attitudes that will allow them to function when they're adults and it's now their job to look under the hood and make it all work.
