Teens don't have a clue about IT? (2016)

You're getting downvoted because this is neither relevant nor novel.

The number of folks who genuinely understand computers has been rising at unprecedented rates. Just look at the number of employed programmers.

Does that mean most children understand it? Of course not, just like most adults don't. When Grandma is amazed that her grandkids manage to make Netflix work, I don't think there's any real expectation that they will become software engineers.

This is like bitching that kids from the 1920s don't know how combustion engines work. It's not productive.

The amount of people who can create things that have some value for someone at ever increasing abstraction levels have increased, for sure.

Also: I really dislike that self-righteous "your're getting downvoted for..." thing you're doing.

I don't mind being downvoted when I know I'm correct ;).
