Nah, I get that we’re all good at different things. But people should be good at doing basic research and troubleshooting.
We use computers all the time. Many of us use cars all the time. And we know how to fuel them up, check and top-up oil, add wiper fluid, check coolant, etc. There’s also the manual to refer to if we don’t know.

We don’t all have the same 24 hours, but we should all have the same ability to at least refer to and/or seek out information to get us some understanding of what we’re doing, and yet, here I am in 2025 working with people who are 30+ years old asking me “what’s the Start button?”
Or, maybe yo will understand when you grow up that people are good at different things.
Garuntee there’s some pretty easy things for me to do that you would get left behind trying to do, and not just on PC
Same for you. You know some things you’d blow me away doing.
Just because you don’t know what I know , and vice versa, doesn’t mean people are dumb.
Means they’ve learned different things.
