    we should all be extremely well versed in how our government works, how to make meals , how to fix our clothes, how to grow our own food, and how to spot a person who’s scamming us, as well be able to do all of the other specialized things humans need ti stay alive

    guarantee neither of us knows everything on that list as well as we should, I a double damn guarantee those re all far more important than a PC .

    not that hat you do, or your interest aren’t important to you, and I am not making light of then, but I think you get where I’m heading

    took over 55 years for me to stop assuming we all have the same 24 hours we don’t , so we prioritize learning different things to survive

      I actually get frustrated when I don’t know how to do something and will spend the time to figure it out… So I may not be well versed in all those points, but I have at least some skill and knowledge in each section.

      We don’t all have the same 24 hours, but we should all have the same ability to at least refer to and/or seek out information to get us some understanding of what we’re doing, and yet, here I am in 2025 working with people who are 30+ years old asking me “what’s the Start button?”

        And here I am at 58 years old still having to fix millennial and zoomers issues.

        Doesn’t mean all millennials or zoomers are technically illiterate. Means that they had to focus on other things to live in their lives.
