11 - I avoid it as much as I can ;)
More seriously, I will often be the one people around ask for help but it doesn't change that I also learned to absolutely distrust tech.
All tech, be it corporate-owned as well as free/Libre... I'm using Linux and have no issue (I like it) but I'm also terrified by the many 'social code of conducts' that have been popping out in many communities. Not necessarily because I disagree with their core values, that would not even matter much, but because it's stating a precedent to allow a group to remove any user they don't like/disagree with the right to use a tech... and that power will be used even when not 'the good guys' will be in charge.
Hence me slowly falling back to analog as much as possible...
