no, I work in IT and have for over 20 years it's merely an observation

It's an outdated observation. Everyone today has a basic knowledge of computers

I'd dispute that. The iPadification of tech has people using computers more, but with less actual knowledge of computers.

I'd like some data on that because the tech world seems to have come a long way in just the last 20 years. Things wouldn't progress this fast if people didn't know what they were doing. Saying "kids these days" is such a cliche

No it's pretty up-to-date really.

Where I work we have a lot of mini DELL workstations and everyone insists on calling them hard drives or processes. The irony been they actually don't have any data storage capability at all, other then RAM, since they all save data on the network drives. So the one thing they definitively are not is hard drives.
