A Clash of Cultures
A friend of mine has a strange approach to tech, at least in my opinion.She didn't buy a computer till 5 years ago, only used the library ones to write and print some documents.Then suddenly she bought a laptop and setup Linux on it. Took her a few weeks, but she got everything up and running without any help.Also, she had an old cellphone for years and then she bought a Nexus 4, rooted it and installed an OS of her choosing on it. It took her at least a month to get the thing because she never used eBay or PayPal before.My girlfriend also rooted her smartphones multiple times when they got no updates anymore and installed Cyanogen mod.Both these women aren't what you would call tech affine, if you interact with them on a daily basis.Somehow they got rather complicated technical issues fixed without any help.This really challenged my perspective on technical know how.
