A British Survey Showed That Young People Have Forgotten How to Change Light Bulbs.


The Halfords retail chain conducted a survey among young people in Britain and found that they struggle with simple household tasks. According to The Telegraph, young people often prefer to pay someone else to change a light bulb or perform other simple jobs.
The research revealed that 21% of Generation Z (ages 18-27) and 22% of millennials (ages 28-43) think it is better to call a specialist for changing a light bulb, and 22% of Generation Z and 19% of millennials turn to their parents for help.
Reasons why young people cannot change a light bulb by themselves include the fear of electric shock (25% of respondents), the belief among millennials that working with electronics without specialized knowledge is dangerous, and the thought that standing on a ladder to change a light bulb could lead to injuries (20% in both groups).
Additionally, about 30% of respondents cannot distinguish a wrench from a screwdriver, and 21% did not recognize a flat-head screw.
The study showed that an increasing number of young people view such tasks as services that can be ordered. For example, 11% of young people prefer to pay a professional to hang a picture on the wall.
By the way, the first room for the illegal use of drugs has been operating in Britain since January 13, where medical professionals oversee the procedures.
