| > not understanding how technology works when it's so central to our everyday lives just seems baffling I don’t know. I appreciate the sentiment and would also like more tech literacy, but there are lots of areas central to our lives and I think it’s unrealistic to expect a good understand across it all. I think it’s on us to be able to adequately communicate and understand the needs of those that ask us for help. Just as you would want a doctor to explain what your condition is in a way you would understand. Having buildings to live in is pretty central to most of our lives too, and we have some knowledge and intuition of what looks safe and can be used, but most of us leave the engineering to someone more in the know. Farming too, I rather people in the industry work on maximising yield to feed us all with tools made and tailored for them. I think when people go to the quickest solutions for them in tech (i.e. Ms 365, Spotify, John Deere, ABC MRI Scanner etc), I’d rather have them focused on the details of their trade than learning how to use a terminal, jailbreak a tractor or replace a magnet in an MRI scanner. Those that want to, great, but I think most don’t have the time or interest to take on that kind of deeper learning. |
