You might have seen this blog post before, as it's from 10 years ago. It's more true every day. Rather than fixing the skills issue, the barrier to entry is constantly lowered by technology, resulting in a decline of generalized computer knowledge AND less efficient processes created to maintain the comfy user-friendly bloatware coating on everything. I'm not an advocate for complexity for its own sake, but I have to ask if it's worth dumbing things down further rather than using processing power and development resources for faster, more secure technology.

>The truth is, kids can't use general purpose computers, and neither can most of the adults I know. There's a narrow range of individuals whom, at school, I consider technically savvy. These are roughly the thirty to fifty year-olds that have owned a computer for much of their adult lives. There are, of course, exceptions amongst the staff and students. There are always one or two kids in every cohort that have already picked up programming or web development or can strip a computer down to the bare bones, replace a motherboard, and reinstall an operating system.
