One of my first jobs was to copy data from one spreadsheet, to another. It blew my mind that nobody else in the company had figured out how to automate that.

Yeap. We recently upgraded from an electronic medical records system that hadn’t been updated since windows 98. During the mandatory education class over the new system I sat next to a 75 year old pediatrician. Watching him during class try to figure things out was like witnessing a 14th century aristocrat try to decipher ancient chaos runes.
