And what good is this info, for people like me, who are tech challenged?
Those fluent in "Tech" are not good are explaining it.
Don't blame yourself.
It is like rock climbing with your mind.
You have to find that first little rock ledge onto which you can get a grip and hang. And then look for the next little ledge.
Techies can't help it. They are young and they get it. They will one day find that tech has developed beyond their understanding...and they will either have to start the difficult climb or die.
Go out and look for that first little foothold and handhold...and keep searching and moving up.
The joy is not in the ease of climbing but in the success of overcoming difficulties.
Those who find it easy will soon be bored. But those who endure when it is hard will succeed and keep on succeeding.

Like a mountain - it's there. You might find it not so bad for a non-tech person. The thrill kids have when they come up with an idea, and they make it work, is fun to see. As someone else said, when you play with things like this, you come up with reasons to use it. It's a tool. It's a toy. It's a challenge. Take your pick(s).
I've read reviews written by people who bought, let's say, a small welder or some tool, to fix a broken item. Now they say, I've found so many things to do with it, I wish I had bought it years ago.
They are SO cheap, it's not a big loss if you don't like it. Just take it to your closest school and they'll know what to do with it.
