Most don't even have any memory of tech not trying to fuck them over at every chance it gets. Most have forgotten and the younger folks who grew up on Apple's shit never got a chance to know what a file system is.

Indeed, I feel like technical illiteracy has paradoxically increased as computers have become more common place. Even among software developers, a lot of people don't really understand how things work at a basic level, and just cargo cult solutions.

From a blog post that is popular at the moment:

I had a "woah" moment once when one programmer got genuinely baffled about the fact that a website somehow "erases" the history of requests from the Network tab of Chrome DevTools. He was wondering what magic method was used to hide the communication. He hadn't realized the app was not a single-page JS application (SPA), and he actually wasn't aware there is another way to make web apps. The idea that each click actually makes the browser fetch a completely new page, without any JS involved, was alien to him.
