    Same thing happened with cars: boomers used to troubleshoot a lot of car issues themselves, and then somewhere along the line cars got good enough that people stopped learning how to do their own maintenance and now most people don’t even change their own oil.

    As technology matures, inevitably users stop worrying about self repair and just hire professionals to do it for them.

      Honestly I feel like a dying breed among my middle-class millennial dad-friends.

      I’m like the only person who changes their own oil. All the rest of them just drive electric cars.
