To be fair to the electronics - internet made it much much easier too. Ordering physical stuff is a nobrainer now, and you no longer need to go to a library to find pinouts, specs and whatever info you need to wire the things properly.

It's definitely easier, but it's not a no-brainer. The new problem is filtering the signal from the noise. Go try and choose an op-amp, or a microcontroller, or a DAC. There is so much to choose from. Fortunately the internet can help with that too, but it is still a problem.
