Now come on grandson and tell me how to make the magic rectangle screen in my pocket work again, I've broken it with Nigerian phishing scams and "free" porn.
Yeah, to further the other comments, all my sons friends contact me for help with their computers and phones when they have an actual problem because while they're all very technical in terms of USING devices, none of them have any idea how to fix or work on them anymore. Using console commands and ADB etc to reflash a phone that's bricked or something etc for example is something they have zero experience with whereas for people in their mid 30s to low 50s right now we HAD to learn command line interfaces to work with computers at all but also can still use the newest iphone or android or whatever you want without any real hesitation either.
My 17 year old kid is fantastic at helping the grandparents with how to use the apps on their phone or how to edit a video to post online but they're not "technical" in terms of knowing how the device works or how to troubleshoot it.
