gollark: It would also be nice if people actually knew anything about networking.
gollark: I fear that some sort of computer troubleshooting class may just end up teaching people to blindly try one specific thing they learned instead of... actually problem-solving. Which would admittedly be better than now.
gollark: People just see an error of some sort, and immediately their brain shuts down, even if it specifies what to do about it.
gollark: A useful skill people seem to lack is any ability whatsoever to solve basic problems with computers, but that's hard to teach.
gollark: You can argue about physics being useful and english literature not or whatever, but it's outweighted by how much anyone involved actually cares.
