    Man I feel you and I know it’s just how things are. But I often ask myself the following question: Why are lots of office workers so bad with computers? It’s the tool they use for 1/3 of working day in their life. Just like a craftsman should learn to use their tools. No, instead they always act like it’s something only tech guys should know about.

      This might be a bit harsh, but to be honest, you can’t expect them to be smarter. Otherwise they would also be engineers.

      An electrician drives around in their van full of their tools. They are expert in their tools, but some can’t even change a tire on the van.

      It’s the same with office jobs. You use a bunch of tools on the computer, but the computer isn’t necessarily a part of your tool set, it’s your vehicle.
