No, that person is just the only one in his family who knows how computers work. There's plenty of people in generations both older and younger that know too, just apparently not his parents or his kids. Some of the most impressive assembly written today is by people younger than 20. It'll be fine.

maybe another angle to this that I observed: my working class dad who had little education happily taught himself a bit of programming with computer magazines in the 80s an 90s. He actually could figure out his way around a command prompt.

I went on to study CS and teach undergrad courses and what I noticed, this started already maybe a decade ago, is that CS students who we handed bootable linux usbs couldn't figure out how to set their system up. And not just that, they just kept emailing us with statements like "it didn't work, what do I do?". It's not just lack of knowledge but complete helplessness when something doesn't work in 2 minutes. That's the biggest problem with this reliance on ChatGPT or whatever.

I think the young generation is in an even worse position. Not only do they not know how computers work, they don't even have the basic DIY problem solving attitude our parents have.
