They just work (until they don't)
And if you know how they work, you can probably fix/repair them, assuming that you have the required tools and parts for it.

Right but what's your point? That everyone should know these things? Maybe they should... maybe not. Yeah?
Maybe learning how to make repairs on a certain object is a waste of time and we should allocate our time elsewhere while supporting an economy of professionals whose job it is to do that... or just throw it away and buy a new one if abundance tech has carried us that far. The answers to these questions depends on quite a few variables that change all the time.
That knowledge is an advantage. If you know how to fix/repair things, you can save time and money on professionals. And you can also avoid the "throw it away and buy a new one" mentality. I do not say that people should know how any of their things work. It is up to everyone what they learn or not learn, and what they do with it.
Right right, but what if that wasn't the case?
What if you lived in a commune where your stuff could just get repaired at cost by professionals?
What if the time you spent trying to figure it out yourself was better allocated elsewhere?
What if the cost of repair is higher than just getting a new one?
I think it's a great idea to know stuff as well and it's totally bullshit that they don't teach sustainability in school anymore.
They want people to be dependent and living in scarcity by design... that's obviously bad.
Just saying there are a lot of things to consider.
