And while we tend to assume that the younger generation is naturally better with computers, the reality is that computers have become too easy to use, so when something goes wrong younger folks are just as lost as everyone else. One study found that only 5% of people possess a high skillset with computers. It’s easy to forget that modern technology is a challenging and confusing topic for the majority of people. But the reality is that most of the world has a basic consumer-level knowledge of mobile technology (and computers in general), leaving us to patiently (or not) provide tech support to friends and family while debunking dark-age myths and outright dangerous info being spread on social media. In fact, we don’t just assume that our coworkers know the mobile industry - we tend to assume that everyone does. Any one of them could easily tell you the amount of RAM in the first iPhone and how many pixels are on a Retina screen or talk for hours about technologies like LIDAR, SwiftUI, ARKit, and VR - as naturally as some of us talk about our children. Day to day, we are surrounded by developers, designers, and managers who live and breathe all things Apple and mobile. Here at MartianCraft, we have been providing custom solutions for mobile development for nearly two decades, and, to say the least, we have gotten used to assuming that everyone we employ knows mobile. Their business background was impressive, and they were a perfect fit for what we were looking for - but we had to quickly get them up to speed on our business. We recently had an interesting challenge here at MartianCraft: We hired a new business-side employee who had absolutely no mobile technology background.
