yes but this same thing applies with computers

like, i'm in no sense a computer scientist or engineer, but when i was a teenager i knew enough stuff to install a new operating system or to upgrade a sound or graphics card, or how to hook up a modem, how to troubleshoot and solve various issues

but a modern teenager getting online through an iphone has no comparable way to learn how to open the thing up and mess around with it. nor do they have any need to do so since it already does what they want with little to no effort

School age kids, and to a lesser degree college age, have spent most of their life on phones, tablets or Chromebooks. The dangers of downloading executables from strange websites onto a PC are not something that have any context for, let alone how to format a hard drive and reinstall their OS.

I always hear people talk about how everyone should know how to change their own brakes, it's so easy and cheap! All you need is to watch a few Youtube videos, a lugnut wrench, socket set, clamps, torque wrench, ramps or a jack and jack stands and then you too can have the pleasure of crawling around under your car for two hours trying to figure out how to change the most important piece of safety equipment on your car to save yourself $200 every few years.

im a huge fan of the youtube repair videos where they skip over massive parts of the job

"woah these caliper bolts are really stuck on there good"

*video flash forwards*

"ok, now that we've got those pesky bolts off let's move on to the next step"
