> You should be teaching them rather than condescending them. From my experiences, most people's issues with computers come down to not understanding and finding it too overwhelming to begin to learn to understand. If you're patient and positive with people they can learn. It's only condescending if you think it's bad to not wanting to learn about computers, which is an unreasonable position. > ...Once they start to see they can do things for themselves, they get excited and try. On the other hand, people may be trying to avoid learning how computers work, because they really don't care about computers and it costs time to learn about it. Getting excited about computers, in my experience, is far from universal. They'd rather be reliant on others than fixing their own computers. And that's okay. No reasonable person would look down on them for the lack of interest. That's not condescending, as I myself employ such an attitude to many things in life. I would never fix a car myself, and would not bother to learn how to do it. And I protect myself from myself, by never messing with my car in any manner. Instead, I spend some extra money to buy vehicle renowned for needing less maintenance, buy 24/7 road side assistance, and to get professionals to fix and maintain it. They my "training wheels" and I'll keep them as long as I keep the car. I don't do plumbing, I can't repair a shoe, I have zero knowledge about raising corps. Does that mean a car engineer, a plumber, a shoe maker, or a farmer will condescend me for not wanting to learn? I don't think so. We have our specialties, and it's natural to not study everything. You could say that I don't have autonomy; I'd say I have more freedom, because I only have a few decades left to live, and I'd rather spend time on things and with people that I genuinely care about.
