Sure, but you can understand some level of apathy for those details in most people. We're all "tech" people and so such details are going to interest us.
But do you wonder in any depth how, for example, that bottle of milk made it to your fridge (the answer is not necessarily all that simple). Even some of the more technically minded programmers I know have zero interest in how a CPU works on a physical level and how they were developed :)
But one of those kids he describes might have a deep interest in how to get eggs from chickens, or how to cut hair, or.... you can never really predict what it is that will arrest them.
(case in point; I was trying to teach my scouts about how GPS worked the other day and they kept getting distracted with how the GPS enclosure was moulded [because of the odd shape]. No interest in the technology :))
I've never had much concern about people's disinterest in how tech works, so long as there are enough of is who do care :)
