Frankly, I don't either. Most of the important know-how comes to servers or cloud service configurations. My personal and work computers just work, no thanks to my knowledge. Win10 is vastly better than all previous versions in terms of this. Even if I run into something, there's always Google/YouTube. I think most teens can handle Google.
You don't need to have this stuff memorized any more. That under-the-hood knowledge you're trying to get me to memorize? Just tell me what to search for and I'll go look it up if I want to learn about it. I can remember that search phrase easily. I'm not going to remember every detail you talk about.
When I can't google my way into 6 digit jobs, I'll start worrying. Until then, those under-the-hood people can rest easy knowing things are much more streamlined these days because of their work.
