I completely agree with what you say here, the frustrating part is how much people use technology without wanting to understand it. I don't know how to code and I'm not saying everyone needs to, we can leave it to the people who actually like doing it.

But it seems like people are intimidated by fairly simple instructions if it's something even slightly unfamiliar. Given how distraught those same people would be if their tech stopped working I feel like a basic understanding would be a good thing to have. Especially when it's something they're using for leisure, like social media.

It's like, the fact you should put pressure on a wound is generally good knowlege to have, even if you aren't a doctor. But then again a non negligable percent of adults don't understand how babies are conceived so maybe I'm being overly optimistic.
