  This is a double-edged blade. From the Windows world we can see why.
  When people are not forced to learn to use their computers, they can use
it more easily and start doing what they need to do right away, with a minimal
amount of practice. This is good.
  However, it has a drawback: When things go wrong, the user is completely
clueless and does not know what to do. His work stops and he is helpless.
This happens even with the most minor problems. They need to ask for help
(although it's often something they could fix in 5 seconds if they just knew
how to). In the worst case he will be spending money and time just because
of minor problems (eg. by sending the computer to the store to be "fixed").

  So it has two sides.
