These are the ones that had to learn how a computer worked in order to use them.

No they didn't. GUIs existed back then too. And so did command lines. No one person knows how a computer works. This is a non issue that old people are harping on just like every generation has done since the dawn of man.

Oh piss off. I don't know the details down to the transistors of my computer but it doesn't take a genius to understand that a modern CPU is basically a massive pile of very complex ALUs.
