In my experience people who know a little about computers are more dangerous than the ones who know nothing.
I’ve had people come into the repair shop who’ve uninstalled programs they don’t recognise and then it turns out that the programs they don’t recognise was the graphics driver. A complete novice would just have not gone into the program list to begin with.
Do schools even teach basic computing anymore, when I was at school we got taught how to program and I feel like that’s not done anymore.
I was taught basic programming in school - by people who clearly had no clue. (it was clear to 11 year old me, and in hindsight I was far to kind in my evaluation of their knowledge) I was also taught on the then very modern apple IIgs - I wouldn’t be surprised if you have never heard of that, but all you need to know is nothing I was taught is relevant anyway - if you were taught on windows 7 a lot of what you learned has changed anyway.
Point is we need to teach people to teach themselves because things change.

And it’ll only accelerate.
