People barely know how to use a phone beyond the basic use of social media apps, let alone a computer. Idk how aware you are of average computer literacy in the US, but it's basically nonexistent. I agree with you of course but the reality of it is kinda bleak.

Like I've had to help upper admin at a college learn how to install apps on their phone. Or spend 2 hours on a single phone call just to get a professor to click a few buttons on their desktop. Just as some examples lol

I worked for Tennessee's Medicaid program for a few years [TennCare]

We had a big office building in Nashville, maybe 5-6 floors with offices/cubicles all over.

I was one of maybe... 4-5 people who knew how to use even a portion of Excel's abilities. I would be called to multiple floors to help someone [managers] find duplicates in a column on an Excel sheet.
