I am a child of the DOS era. I was also part of the small window when schools taught computer use. You are talking to the *wrong person* about knowing how to use a computer. :J

[Welcome to 1994](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCLeWx2CV0c ). The average person has *never* understood how their devices worked. Because prior to those things being "simplified away," computers were... *drum roll* limited to enthusiasts, specialists, or designated operators.

Like, by your logic, everyone should know how a car works. We use them every day. But the only one in my family who ever did was my grandpa, who cut his teeth on the *Model A,* and they later passed him by. We have mechanics now.

That's all people are asking for: a mechanic when things are broken. The same way they want a farmer for their food, or a doctor for their sick kid, because all of these things are simply too big for the average person to bear the load of. It's not *stupidity,* it's being *overwhelmed.*
