I'm a IT person by trade, so I fix it. Never have to pay anyone for it.

It does get sad with how technologically incompetent a lot of people are. It still surprises me with what basic tasks people are baffled with. I wish I was exaggerating when there are plenty of people who think you’ve done some rocket science just by changing the wallpaper on their computer.
Well, people in general have never been great at tech, but since smartphones and such have blown up and everything is super "user-friendly" it kind of just encourages people to not really bother learning how anything works, for example they literally just have to say "Alexa, lights off" and their lights turn off. I do think even just 10 years ago people were a bit more competent, though not by a huge amount.

Idk, I’ve been having to do super basic things like changing wallpapers on people’s computers longer than 10 years ago. To me it’s looked like nothing’s changed.

I stay in touch with my retail workers who still often see people of all ages have issues with tech and I've seen people in their 20s in college not sure how to do email.
It's fine with me, my job is IT support, its just job security at this point.

I think in my case, it’s not like some rando showing up asking for help. It’s someone that’s been there for years doing said job asking for help on some basic stuff that’s part of their job.

If you know how to read and follow a step by step guide, you can fix a large majority of problems that normal people come across. Also with most problems, someone else has had the issue before, so there’s going to be a guide someone made you can find on Google.

it is pretty hard not to find a guide on anything these days.
