    I once had to help the company accountant with a tech thing. She had written sticky notes to hit start, find Excel, go to file, go to open file, click payroll, click open file… Etc

    She’d been doing that with the same software for 10 years, when I told her she could just click on the the file she freaked out and said I was going to confuse her

    It took me a but to realize a detail you might’ve missed… She’d been there for 10 years, and the sticky notes were still sticky. I can’t imagine how many times she rewrote them

    That’s what made me understand, some people are genuinely not good with computers. I always thought I was “good with computers” because I was brave enough to explore the menus and Google what I didn’t understand

    Some people are genuinely incapable of understanding software, on a very fundamental level
