Good point. Furthermore, the devices that are becoming more and more popular recently (tablets, phones, etc.) do a really good job of insulating you from the nitty-gritty of your computer. Even if something DOES goes wrong, how are you supposed to even start figuring out what it is? I have no idea how to pop open the Terminal on my iPhone. I assume there's a UNIX way down there, but how to see it...? Related example: We've had electric lights for years and use them constantly, but how many people actually understand electricity either? It's because electricity, like the iPhone, is set up in a really "opaque" way to outsiders. Not only are we used to it "just working", like the parent said, we have no idea how we'd even BEGIN to address a problem if one came up. Go inside the wall? Do something with wires? I don't know. I'm really good at figuring out why my computer is broken, I program for a living, but when my "smart phone" doesn't work right I'm helpless. So even if there's a will, there sometimes doesn't seem to be a way.
