I don't mean to be rude but how technical are we anyway? As in flashing custom firmware using someone else guide or video? That kind of technical?
Nah, don't have be so complicated, just basic technical; Example: know how to use a computer "properly and understand some basic of hardware and software, don't get to study IT for that or any scholarship; simply put, computer literate, not like "my computer can't start, what's wrong?" When the most basic thing, the power cord also never check.
Using smartphone considered more easy to use than Windows, where Windows have much more features and function, and you don't need to know everything to operate Windows or smartphone; Now the difference is, the limitation and restriction, which prevents people to learn and have the opportunity to use more advance feature. Imagine if you buy Windows, and you're lock to GUEST account only and everything is preset for you, treating you as a dumb user, preventing or minimising "user problem" in handling and usage.
As I said, even between a netbook and Notebook, there is limitations already; but for Apple product like iPad and iPhone, that like even more limitations, restrictions; Sorry, I just don't think that correct to say that its "the way it should be", maybe some people prefer the users to stay as beginner and dumb, and never demand or improve/advance, but this totally go against the usual "don't be spoon-fed", "read the manual" and "learn to use the device". No matter how powerful an automated process, e.g. super SMART car, it's still doesn't mean the user don't need to learn how to drive and "properly" use the device, understanding some basics. In my opinion, strongly, that's just... wrong, user should still learn and know some basic stuffs, and they should also move forward, slow or fast, doesn't matter.
