I had a similar experience volunteering for Rails Bridge a few months ago:
http://www.railsbridge.org/ http://www.railsbridge.org/
Once we got everything installed, which was a nightmare in itself ("no, Dave, you do not copy the quotes in"), we had to deal with actual "web" stuff.
Me: "Alright guys, refresh your browser to see your changes!"
Student 1: "What's the 'browser?'"
Student 2: "How do I refresh?"
Student 3: "Why can't I go to any websites?" (they were typing the URL in the command line)
I took for granted the technical environment I grew up in; most people don't even know how to use the software they use every day to browse Facebook. And I don't blame them, they don't teach this stuff in school.
