The remark about most people being afraid of computers is dead on. Lots of people, even people growing up around computers see them as big baroque systems of buttons and menus that they don't really understand. My mom uses an iMac, and for the most part, I don't think she realizes that there are other programs you might want to put on it aside from MS Office. With her iPhone, she has not only found and installed apps, but she actually _uses_ them. I it's think that one of the biggest successes of it all has been what Dan describes: regular people understanding what software is, and how it can make their lives better.
