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…
