      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.
