"I'm not very smart with computers"

Why do people say that? Obviously you may not know 100% of what you can do with a computer, but NO ONE does! I get that some people know slightly more than others, but it all comes down to how much time you put into learning it!

And how do you even respond to that? "I know, I'm dumb." You can't ignore it or affirm it, you just have to awkwardly acknowledge and then change the subject. Ugh...

    Being the cyberlord and knowing everything that there is and will be when it comes to my realm, I can't relate.

    Sure, but you don't go up to the mechanic and say "I'm so dumb about cars"

    I wouldn't say it's just about the amount of time you put into it. That plays a huge role, but some people are just better at things than others.

    I've had to re-explain the simplest computer operations to the same people a dozen times and they still don't get it. Others get it on the first try.

    Some people just aren't technical. But, yeah, they don't need to explicitly tell us. I can usually tell by the questions they ask or what issue they need assistance with. TBH, I just assume everyone isn't technical and explain it as simple as I can. That route usually works best.
