"apps have completely eroded tech literacy!"
can you actually demonstrate as a fact, not an assumption on your part, that tech literacy has ever been a general-purpose phenomenon
because I was working in retail selling games consoles at the last point they could arguably still be thought of as standalone plug-and-play machines, and lemme tell you, substantial numbers of people struggle to cope with the technological demands of "plug in both the power and video cables. The other end of the video cable needs to be plugged into your TV"
there are many many reasons to hate the arc of tech toward grasping control, functionality fragmented and siloed into units of marketing, and swingeing monetisation; but harkening back to a time People Understood Computers ain't it
kinda seems like maybe the thing that's actually changed is the average person went from "can't use computers because they don't understand them" to "can use [some form of] computers without needing to understand them"
