How Advanced Must Technology Be Before We No Longer Need to Learn It?
Technology always makes us learn something new. Every app, every tool comes with buttons to press, rules to follow, or steps to figure out. We spend time learning how to use it before it becomes useful. But now, with AI getting smarter, a new question appears: how far does technology need to go before we don’t have to learn it anymore?
Today, machines start to learn about us instead. They remember what we like, how we talk, and what we usually do. The goal is simple — technology that just works, without effort. But that also makes us think: if everything becomes automatic, do we lose something? Do we still need to understand what’s behind the screen, or is that no longer our job?
We Still Have to Learn Every Damn Thing
Every new app or tool says it will make life easier. But first, we have to spend hours learning how it works. There’s always a setup, a login, and some weird setting hidden deep in the menu. By the time it’s ready, you’re already tired.
People call this “onboarding.” I call it extra work.
Even small things — like syncing your phone or turning off a sound — can take forever to find.
Tech keeps getting smarter, but somehow we still need a manual for everything.
