Actually, that has always been true.

Yes the UI has become fluffier. But users have always just used first and most convenient way to do something.

  • They didn't need to know how file system worked, they just put all their files on their desktop.
  • Most never used a command line and never will. They would just shrug and do something else if it required it.
  • If a button is even slightly moved, to them it is a travesty that fucks over their whole workflow.

The subset of tech savvy users may be slightly bigger, but the majority never learned how computers worked beyond clicking around. That is in every generation. Our vision is just skewed because we grew up in a tech heavy environment.

But if you ever worked in IT support, you'd know that not knowing how computers work is the default in every generation.
