How do people use manual?

Random street encounter tonight in Geneva:

Trashed manual of a LCD color TV

A manual for a flat-screen LCD television, obviously tossed out in a trash. Made me think about the value of manuals from technological devices. It can also be a manual on one the 3 languages (+english) of Switzerland. We have often get 3 of 4 manuals for each technological good that we buy.
