What are some things you think tech people presume others know, and know how to do?

How to use a smartphone. I got my 82YO mom a phone on my account and set it up for her. Walked her through using the appstore, installing and deleting apps, using voicemail, email, and texting. She rarely leaves home, so I put her on a metered data plan. Last month her WiFi gateway went out, and ATT replaced it. This month I got a huge data charge because she didn't reconnect her phone to the new gateway.
