Not sure if that is a joke or not. But if it isn't I think you greatly underestimate how many knew how to use a computer 10 years ago. Office workers aren't a big enough share to say that more people than ever know how to use a computer.

10 years ago people used computers for things that they use smartphones for today, like doing banking etc. So the category is everyone who feels they need a smartphone today but doesn't feel they need a computer today.

Assuming this is true. What is the benefit to society or individual of blue collar workers owning computers in order to do online banking?
Seems like a great benefit that they don’t have to deal with all the unnecessary complexity.
Being forced to learn enough computers to log on to your bank doesn’t make you more employable.
