Working IT, it's impressive how many people don't understand basic computer functions. Even young people who grew up with technology. I impressed someone by fixing something by quitting and relaunching an app the other day. C'mon…
For those who don't know, the title of the post refers to an error code, ID-Ten-Tee, meaning IDIOT.
Another would be PEBKAC: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.

> Even young people who grew up with technology. There is now a middle sweet spot of computer literacy that spans Gen X and Millennials. When you go younger than that, you start running into people who never owned a normal computer growing up and only ever used smartphones/tablets. By making devices simple enough for grandma to use, we inadvertently fostered a new generation of people who are as computer literate as grandma.
