It’s always been that way. Even most people who used the internet “way back when” have no clue how it actually functions. Terms like DNS and IPv4 are vaguely familiar concepts at best outside of professional or hobbyist circles.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with that either. There’s too much stuff for any one person to know. You learn the stuff that interests you and ignore the rest, which hopefully means somebody is interested in all of it. That’s why it’s good that there’s all different kinds of people out there.
Joking aside I do actually worry about how superficial technical knowledge is becoming.
People these days couldnt even manually resolve an IRQ conflict!
We just need to integrate conversational AI into everything, so people never have to understand tech or learn to use it
