The general public isn’t prepared for complexity in anything. That is not a unique aspect of computers. Its part and party to the industrial revolution.
I work with a wide variety of professionals, docs, lawyers, architects, engineers, professors and scientists. They’re all bright and devoted people, but have learned where their time is valuable and where it isn’t. Just as is the case with nearly any other machine, the tools are available to solve problems, but it takes willingness and experience to deal successfully with any complex system.
I'm not sure that lifestyle enters into the picture of computers, unless perhaps you’re talking about what it takes to master part of the technology. Then it’s an issue of devotion, which is a life style choice
