Yeah I guess our popular end user products are much more polished now and don't force you to get your hands dirty. I remember you couldn't even start a game without typing some cryptic code into the computer. So that extra push isn't there anymore and you can easily use all of this technology without ever learning anything. On the other hand, I think we now have much more information available and easily accessible for those who do choose to get involved.

It's like how car engines used to be completely exposed under the hood, now it's all hidden under plastic panels.
