thirding this.
In the bad old days computers weren't wide spread but just by virtue of having one you would learn programming / tech skills. Today computers are everywhere but owning one doesn't teach you anything as fundamental functionality is hidden/locked away from the user in the name of being "consumer friendly".
I wonder if those born between 1988 and 2002 will be the last of the so-called naturally computer literate.
