that's because they're not using computers or doing work
I'd have to imagine most of the people calling them "tech savvy" are just seeing them on phones/tablets which are mostly "dumbed down" hardware in comparison to what you can do with a PC. There isn't much to know about operating a phone or tablet.
Dumbed down hardware? No, the hardware of smartphones is very impressive. It is the software that is dumbed down in the sense that it takes control away from the user or operator.
You're right, I was just referring to the device as a whole. The "experience" is generally meant to be grab and use as is no tweaking/new apps or whatever so the general phone/tablet user isn't accustomed to fixing/adding/tweaking, just tap swipe tap swipe tap swipe.
Did you just pull a "kids these days don't want to work anymore"?
Think it's missing the f. Computers for work
