Sometimes I understand why you feel that way. But I think there's some bias; as an engineer I can work out why these machines operate the way they do, to some extent. From the perspective of someone with no experience in this field, I imagine it's a much more frustrating experience, especially when some of the machines are so god-awful to use.

I think it just comes down to yet another example of smart people forgetting how to function when faced with an electronic device, regardless of past experience with critical thinking and problem solving. It's willful helplessness.
