You’re not really wrong, but at the same time having technical knowledge is essential to getting us out of the tech dystopia big corporations have us trapped in, and a lot more computer knowledge would not only help people be more productive but it would help them make better choices about the stuff they use. One would assume that as computer technology only becomes more essential to our lives that interest in the technical side would follow, and it doesn’t seem to have been the case as much as we are expecting. I mean your average Generation Z person understands that you have to connect your computer to the internet to use the web browser and they’re capable of turning the device on but there doesn’t seem to be an easy on-ramp from the basic knowledge of how to operate the thing to more advanced topics. I wouldn’t even say I’m all that good and I did half a computer science degree
My guy, it’s because you’re the vegans of tech.
Nobody cares. It doesn’t need to be your personality.
