Then and now of computers

Take a look at the computer you're reading this post on. I will take a guess and say it is likely a computer running Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac OSX (and for thus of you using any Linux distribution shout out to you). But I have noticed a trend and I will bet If you do some reading on the topic you will to. What I have seen Is more people own computers while fewer actually know them, tasks like using a command line or learning how your machine actually works. But Inherently this is not bad, it is the business mode the companies are selling. Which is and I paraphrase To market an easy to use machine to more people. I can guarantee you that a majority of people don't need an instruction manual to navigate windows (I hesitate to say this for 8/8.1 because from my use of it its not immediately user friendly). The working model Is to market a simple easy to use interface to as many people as possible.  I bet If I brought up terms such as booting, kernel, bootloader, BIOS, Operating system you would have no clue what alien dialect I am speaking in.
Now look at your phone, Odds are It is likely an iPhone or Android (and I will NOT go int the iOS Android debate...yet). It is probably extremely simple to use. You likely took it out of the box and started texting your group of friends. These things are so simple because that's what companies pay billions to create. People Demand simple tech so that's what the companies SUPPLY them with that platform they want. I know there will be some of you who say "well I built my computer" I do know people who do that but it is for gaming (I have no issue with gamers in the slightest) and I can almost guarantee most don't know anything outside of windows or how those parts work to make a computer function.
Now rewind about 20-35 years back around the 80's if anyone wanted to use one they had to know everything about it. But the thing is now I don't take issue with this in the slightest since the model works; But people don't need to know how to use a command line if they don't want to. They don't need to know how there operating system works, or how kernel works (too long to explain here). I see that people don't want to learn these things and that's their choice because really the standard user will only use a pc to write a paper or maybe some internet videos. While there are exceptions to these claims (like LINUX) that is essentially computing today.
