So much of the modern computing environment goes incredibly far out of its own way to hide information from the user. It's getting difficult just to see the URL in mobile browsers, and in some fairly general-purpose computing environment (iPads, etc) the concept of a "filesystem" has become very abstract and increasingly difficult to ascertain. It doesn't surprise me that people half my age have difficulty with some of these - it's much harder for them to play with and explore the concepts.
