Question : Why are some people at home using mobile phones; while, being stumpt by other electrical appliances?
I have observed literally illiterate people handling mobile phones with great comfort and expertise, yet when it comes to a video machine (CD, DVD, VCR … etc) satellite receivers, channel tuning on TV sets its blank for these same people.

I think it’s fear.
When I was a kid, my dad wouldn’t touch anything technical – out of fear of screwing things up.
I’m totally the opposite. I have no fear – I go in and screw things up, then fix them. That’s the best way to learn about complicated systems.
We should encourage these folks to dive right in – and don’t ridicule when they ask for help.

I’ve noticed that too.
I’m guessing it’s b/c most of their communication with “real” life comes from calls & texting.
And if they are a master at cell phone but can’t read DVD recorder instruction, then they are also the ones whose cell phone # keeps changing b/c they couldn’t understand their payment plan either.
As for me, cell phone illiterate but, I can wire in VCR to DVD to cable box & switch uses in between. It’s embarrassing to ask to use someone’s cell phone AND have to ask them to dial the number for me.
Ugh! But that’s b/c I come from days were we could go to back yard (before even chain link fences, let alone wooden privacy fences) and yell for neighbor five houses down & they’d send a their child running to see what you wanted. That was real easy to know when “call ended.”
