Question how bad the chip actually was.

Oh man, this is so true, and it's part of a bigger thing where tech just hands us the answer (which is fine sometimes, you know). But we stop actually learning the stuff, like the lay of the land or even how to fix basic things. It's all just follow the line or look up a video tutorial instantly. Like patricia_harris69 said about training your brain, that's the real skill we're losing, the ability to figure it out ourselves and really see what's around us.
