    The more technology pervades society the more pronounced this will get. The sheer helplessness of people when faced with problems that seem trivial to some is scary. Especially when you see people losing final theses or critical work related data because they never learned about backups.

    Add to that tech companies trying to hide the concept of a file system, and it seems like this is by design to sell more shit.

      Yeah, obscuring and abstracting away the atomic units of the system is a classic.

      On the other hand self-education has never been easier, and there are open source alternatives of pretty much everything.
