I feel like the people I interact with irl don’t even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.
I’m extremely young, I don’t know how shit works, like at all. Because stuff works pretty well nowadays. Cannot imagine not knowing how to use a mouse. It could not be simpler imo. Can’t remember a time that I didn’t know lol
You should spend some time trying to teach CAD to students in High School. My first couple of days with a new class involved teaching them that, No you can’t use your finger, and then how to use a mouse.
I’m in high school rn. I had to use this program called TinkerCAD in middle school for some weird class on the basics of engineering. Wasn’t particularly good at it, but no one needed an explanation of keyboard and mouse. Chromebooks are used heavily, so that makes sense. I never really considered that keyboard and mouse wouldn’t be at least learned. I guess with smartphones and iPads it makes sense. Makes me a little sad, but whatever.
Don’t underestimate yourself. Just by posting here you have proven that you’re more proficient than the average Joe.
It’s not hard to make an account lol
Lots of users fail on anything more complicated than a “Sign in with Google” prompt.
Fascinating. Guess I never knew lol
The average person is incredibly dumb.
Not that dumb. Helpdesk just gives survivorship bias.
The people smart enough to realize modems don’t work during outage don’t call as often.
Except for “can you hack my ex’s facebook” ones. Those are constant for some reason.
No. They are actually that dumb, mate.
I’ve never worked Helpdesk. I have just dealt with the general public routinely throughout my life. Goddamn, it might be just the state I live in but the people here are fucking stupid. Consistently.
Remember, there are also just dumb people who never call because they don’t interact with a computer to such an extent that they ever run into problems they need to call about. Those people are as tech literate as a rock and they are everywhere.
Hey now, don’t be dissing rocks. We can trick rocks into thinking, the people on the other hand I’m not so sure.
Very dumb. Half the population is below average intelligence.
