I'll second that. Saw some early PC and even wrote a basic Basic program in, must have been math class in the gymnasium (~"high school", class 10-12), but really started using computers at university in 1985 -- first a minicomputer with TTY (and even some printing!) terminals in 1985, then PCs a year or so later. First with a colourful menu system (Press 1 for DisplayWriter, 2 for MINITAB, etc) [1], then Windows 3 a year or so after that. My son, recently of age, has no fucking idea about anything beneath the GUI. OTOH, my somewhat older stepson is a games and recently "full stack" -- which has something to do with tis newfangled Web thingy, I think -- programmer. (OTGH, fuck knows what he knows of anything beneath Unity and React...) ___ [1]: That is, press a number and then [Enter]. This, I later (after some rudimentary hints on DOS from a classmate) found out, called the batch files 1.BAT, 2.BAT, etc, which in turn set up whatever needed to be set up and then started the respective application.
