@bsletten Jokes aside, I've found that by growing up with all this since super early on (late 80s/early 90s DOS era) I have found that I have a more fundamental understanding of more of how things work than even many experts that came later than me. Even on wildly different platforms (such as smartphones) I can often recognize issues that confuse people.

Also, 99% of those issues are that the box you're trying to type in lost focus and you just need to tap/click on it again. 😁

@nazokiyoubinbou @bsletten 💯 This. Folks should at least have some idea of how things work.

@nazokiyoubinbou I think part of why is that you had to learn these skills. The other is that for some reason society doesn't consider technical literacy a necessary skill to learn. But on the other hand plenty of people grow up without knowing how to cook, clean or do basic maintenance on their things either.
