“But they know how to find how-to videos quickly.
When they need to do something, they just pull out their phones and do a quick YouTube search.”
You’re kidding right - very effective in all places when really needed - not really - in my opinion!
How-to videos don't work for everything, that's for sure. :-)
But, watching how-to videos is a perfectly fine way for them to learn about these little things - such as opening a can of paint.
I myself have fixed things around the house several times just by watching how-to videos on YouTube.
