I tend to agree with you. As more things move towards automation and applied system defaults a lot of folks, regardless of age, are less likely to know how the insides work. I feel like it is following a very similar trend that we see with a lot of non-digital technology. Take something like automotive repair, which in and of itself requires IT skills for modern vehicles. The major risk I see in any of this comes predominantly from built in obsolesce and business that create terribly end-user-agreements that take-away right to repair. I think education and awareness are the key, which is why I've been in my particular occupation for the past decade.
