The only way the don't fix it till it's broke attitude will change, is by spreading the word and teaching people.

If we encourage people to fix things themselves, they will become more aware of what is going on inside their computer, and will stop hesitating to find out.


We cannot pander to the ignorant or lazy, that just feeds their limitations. For example, I have noticed that people who get to live life on disability get more and more disabled as time goes by (Some are legitimate disabilites), if we do not just acquiesce to their idle wants, they will become stronger, and eventually, self-sufficient.

Yes, it is difficult for some people. That doesn't mean they should have a different standard, or different traeatment. That is what casues the problems.


(And yes, I just compared average users to the mentally retarded.)
