It&#x27;s more of a case of people not wanting to find out how things work. So many people will drive a car, use a washing machine or vacuum cleaner, or even use a phone with no idea how it works, and no intention of ever learning. If it breaks they go to the &#x27;repair guy&#x27; that will fix their problems. Or they will scrap the old item and buy a shiny new one.<p>One part of this comes from the fact that some things are really difficult or impossible to repair these days. Cars come with engine computers that you need special tools to access, computers and modern electronics come so integrated that you can&#x27;t easily swap out components yourself.<p>The other part is that people treat computers as one entity, not a combination of entities. So the whole device is one item, and if something doesn&#x27;t work, it&#x27;s all broken.
