You probably use a cellphone in the course of your work. How much do you know about building and operating a 5G RAN? How about modem and RF front end design?
I assume that if you're not a cellular network engineer, the answer would be "very little".
No, I know the basics of how the telephony network works and how wireless phones calls are made. I don't know specific technologies like what makes 5G different from 4G, but I don't need to.
I know that radio waves are sent by towers to me phone and back to create a connection. That's why I can't use my phone in an underground parking garage.
I know what a phone number is and why we need them. I know why international calls are more expensive.
That's basic knowledge about the tool that I have, and which I will utilize in my day to day life.
When I say "you need to have knowledge of computers", I don't mean "write an algorithm an operating system might use for scheduling running processes", okay? I mean, do you know what the internet is? Do you know what an email is? Do you know what shutdown/reboot means? Do you know what a program is? Do you know how to see what is running on your computer?
I don't understand why everyone is fighting me on this. To me this is pretty simple. If you're using a thing and that thing is integral to your job, you should have a high-level idea of how to fucking use it. Why am I blowing up people's minds with this?
