My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

      They don’t know how to troubleshoot tech. Gen X and early millennials had to get things to work far more often than later generations. Today most things just work.

        Even beyond troubleshooting.

        Basic things I’d expect people to know:

        • What and HDMI cable is

        • what an Ethernet cable is

        • That Samsung isn’t the only Android manufacturer

        • That different tablets are different shapes/sizes and hence use different cases (seems like common sense to me but apparently not)

        Etc…
