Many years ago a lot of people bought into the myth that because young people grew up with computers they would naturally have these skills and wouldn't be intimidated.
I believe the percentage of people who are terrible with computers hasn't really changed that much. People are much more exposed to computers but I swear some people cannot think rationally about the contents of a glowing screen in front of them. I have literally turned people's chairs around, read them the exact contents of the screen, and gotten understanding and a rational response when they were otherwise completely paralyzed.
