    “There’s an error message on my screen.”

    “What does it say?”

    “I don’t know.”

    “I just clicked it off. But I need this to work, I’m late on my project. Can’t you just fix it without asking me all this technical stuff?”

      My wife works as a TA at a high school - there are students there who can’t even use a PC to do much of anything. E.g. she asked one student to minimise something and the kid asked “What is minimise?”.

      Even after explaining which button on the window minimised it, they had no idea you could do that. Opening a read only word document melts their brains when they can’t figure out how to edit anything lol
