I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.

I'm far from a technical background. I make storyboards and concepts for ads and animations. Mostly related to graphics and illustration. Sort of a digital art director.

At the same time I do all my work on a tablet + computer and am a huge tech enthusiast.

Non-tech background sort of? Work in games but on the localization end of things.

Human troubleshooting (I'm a therapist). My dad is an engineer who always built his own PCs and gave me a pretty solid foundation for the software side of things, as well as basic car knowledge. Haven't kept up on that in a while but I'm Tier 1 tech support for my parents (my brother is Tier 2) ๐Ÿ˜‚

I stopped doing the computering until around 2006 or so. At that point I was tired of slapping keys like some kind of psychology experiment bunny slapping the paddle in the cage when the light went off and on and off and on for them to spit up a food pellet.
