[quote=Anonymous]I think it all depends on your education and skill level. I am a SAHM who was in IT field so I lean quite a bit towards using tech to make things easier for me. But, goodness gracious, I watched in dismay how confused parents and teachers were when the school system switched to remote learning during the pandemic. I think they feared online education more than the pandemic itself. And it was all kinds of people - working, not working, blue collar, white collar.

My kids learned powerpoint, excel, word from me when they were in 3rd grade and we were doing a project together.  However, I know working people who cannot set up a group meetings or place a conf call. Some do not know how to use google docs or one-drive, how to back up their work in the cloud or they are nervous about downloading and using apps in their smart phone.  They cannot use formulas to manipulate data on a spreadsheet, or use a tool to create a webpage.  I know working women who don't know how to do their taxes and their husbands do it for them.

You may think that going from SAHM to WOHM is not that easy because it seems like a different world.  IMHO, it is the same when you get a new job. Different companies have different way of doing things, their tech could be different and their procedures and culture could be different.  [/quote]
