And you want to explain the difference, then decide it's not worth the effort.
I really don't understand why it's such a common confusion. None of these people struggle with the difference between their gas supply and their oven.
I think people care about different things, networking might not be something they're interested in so aren't interested in spending time learning about it. Where as when you are interested in it it's not so hard to read, watch videos about it and experiment with it. At least that's generally how I find these things work.
But when your electricity goes out, do you even consider whether it’s the power plant, substation, distribution station, or individual service drop that is the problem? Probably not. But I’m sure many power line technicians see the phrase “my power’s out” in the same way tech-savvy people see the phrase “my wifi’s out”.
How much of that is in your control to diagnose, let alone fix? If the neighbours are out too, that means it's already out of your hands.
When it comes to "the internet is down", much of the time it is something within your control, whether or not you know that. It's not a very good analogy imo.
This really isn’t true anymore. Most people use all-in-one modem+router+AP. I’d guess that unless you’re one to tinker with your router, there’s a much better chance you’ve tripped a breaker or GFCI than there is that you’ve somehow broken your home wifi.
I consider those if only cause it may give me an idea of when power will come back on. Ill even drive around to see how much is out or if i can find repair crews.
If all the food in my fridge is warm I don't immediately assume my electricity has been cut off rather than something is wrong with my fridge.
