Honestly, I’d say ‘yes’, in many cases the older generation is better at fixing things. The reason is pretty simple: when they were younger, it wasn’t so easy or cheap to replace broken things. If your TV or washing machine stopped working, you didn’t just go online and order a new one, you actually tried to repair it. So people of that time naturally picked up those skills. They knew how to use tools, how to open things up, how to figure out what’s wrong. Another point is patience. I think older people are more willing to spend a couple of hours trying to repair something. They don’t get frustrated as quickly. Younger people, on the other hand, often prefer convenience. If their phone breaks, they just buy a new one, because repairing feels like too much hassle. At the same time, I wouldn’t say younger people are completely helpless. We have YouTube and loads of tutorials, so if I don’t know how to fix something, I can just watch a video and try. But the problem is that modern gadgets are often designed in a way that makes repairing really difficult… like smartphones that are glued shut. So sometimes it’s not even about skills, it’s just impossible to fix them at home.
