Smarter than the average smartphone

  First, let me preface with how this topic came about.  You would call me a geek/nerd, anything that involves being smart because I take Android smartphones and make them run faster and more reliable.  At first, I limited myself to only the phones that I owned.  Then some of my friends decided they liked the way my phone ran better than theirs so they wanted me to do the same to their phone. Let me say, that was kinda sorta a mistake.
  Let me also point out that this topic (like all others I post), does NOT pertain to one individual.  Some people believe that the world revolves around their asshole.  Well not around here.  I'm an equal opportunist, thus I believe that everyone is equal when it come to venting about people.  End of digression...
  So we pan to the present.   I have modded/hacked... whatever you wanna call it, around 15 phones (3 of them are mine).  The one thing that I cant get over is the fact that the people who ask me to ...mod their phones just aren't smart enough to even comprehend what it is that their phone is now capable of, much less operate it any better then they did before I got me hands on it. But this is not the problem.  What is the problem? 
  If you don't even know how to download the Facebook application (which is why it comes pre-installed now) then you really have no buisness touching a smartphone.  
  Look, I get it.  Smartphones are cool and the new thing.  Everybody wants a smartphone.  But, if you lack the intelligence to operate one, you should probably stick with the feature phones or commit blasphemy and acquire yourself an iPhone.
  So here's what I propose.  Since humanity will never learn nor get smart enough, there needs to be  some type of ... Smartphone 101 crash couse one could take to better their knowledge on operating said smartphone.  I mean, if you're gonna own one, better know how to use it.
  It's just like when cell phones first came out and your buddy wouldn't answer.  "What's the point of having a cell phone if you don't answer it?"  I modify that comment for this topic.
  "What's the point of owning a Smartphone if you're not smart enough to use it?"
