An interesting thing to observe is that while everyone uses tech ever day the "mass" is getting further away from having a good understanding of it instead of having a better understanding.
And I man it makes sense, the technology is constantly getting more complex and at the same time you increasingly don't have to know how it works to use it effectively/professionally. At the same time knowing how it works doesn't mean you can use it effectively, e.g. knowing how to program a Windows GUI app doesn't mean you know the keyboard shortcuts of any specific GUI app or where in the settings you find some important option etc.
To add on top of that there is a lot of artificial nonsense obfuscating proper technical understanding.

IMO that's mostly because earlier technology required a greater degree of dedication and study and troubleshooting. Back In My Day when I wanted to play computer games I had to check my IRQs and configure Sound Blaster.

And don't get me started on getting the memory in batch set up just right for moonstone. Things are a lot easier now, but it getting easier made us forget how complicated it is underneath it all.
