  • It seems like most people at my highschool are familiar with their basic favorite apps and can get a not great grasp on new applications and programs. But other than that it seems like a lot of people seem hopeless because they might now how to use their favorite apps well, but the second anything errors out of bugs out or they install a new app that isn’t so user friendly their brain just powers down. They don’t even try to Google it.

    This is one thing that kinda concerns me is they people stay in their little apple ecosystem and use the most basic apps they don’t really get that experience of actually googling s error code or a specific bug. Even people who use their phones half the day still don’t know shit about anything because they don’t leave their bubble.

    But I know it’s not everyone’s thing to try to step out of the bubble and learn how to troubleshoot and fix stuff. But there is so much cool stuff out there that they just refuse to learn because they didn’t immediately understand the app. It’s like they are scratching the ice with how much they can do with their devices and they don’t even try to go deeper.
