I get the feeling that computer literacy is decreasing. We are getting a lot more "screen" users, the majority of whom are doomscrolling or swipe left/swipe right zombies. People that need everything dumbed down for them and just consume, consume, consume. This is dangerous for our society as a whole. A world where you grow up surrounded by digital devices but are only mindlessly fed content through them is a dystopia. We need more tinkerers. We need more curiosity. We need more hackers.

Everything is gettinf dumped down in the spirit of "easier UX for the masses". From OS UI to apps and games. For the latter, I just stopped playing :) But the direct consequences of "making stuff easier to use" is exactly what you describe in OP.. personnally conserned as well how this translates to younger generations becoming consumers instead of users with a certain degree of autonomy
