Sad... but true. Someone I work with uses a physical calculator alongside excel and then puts the answers in the cells.. Tried explaining-

using formulas but failed. It's horrifying.

I feel like knowledge of how to use Excel should be a basic requirement for all human beings regardless of job. It's a useful program!

I don’t want to be ride but why do they need to learn word if they don’t have computers?

I don't think he's going into details great enough for it to matter. They'll recognize the main thing when they see it.

There is access to electricity, but it is not reliable, often requiring the use of a huge powerbank-phone to get through the day, for mobile
