@researchfairy i think a fundamental problem is that computers (especially tablets/phones) nowadays are *designed* to "de-skill," because it's much more difficult to monetize users who, like, actually know how their computers work and have the expectation that they should be able to independently control a computer's function. the culture surrounding computation compounds the problem—i have students who don't believe they CAN learn how computers work, because they're not "that kind of person"
