The US is entirely built around car culture. Chances are you don’t get in a car for everywhere you go. In the US getting in a car to go virtually anywhere is unavoidable. This is a tiny percentage we just have so many more car trips per day than most countries.
Edit: fixing counties to countries cause autocorrect.
This study was only with 234 people.
As someone that works in IT the amount of people I’ve come across that have little to no technical ability to be in that field is staggering. It had a high paycheck so they showed up. Doesn’t make them competent computer users.
Lemmy pointed me to another study a bit ago. It was ~216K people ages 16-65 and multiple countries.
According to that study this is where 43% of the participants skills ended(or didn’t even reach cause I stuck level 0 and 1 together).
This was the most depressing part…
So my above 43% is really 69% of users. That’s where their abilities taper off.
