But computers have only been around for a limited time
and as they progress, you need to do less to maintain them.

So my point is entirely valid.

bollocks
so far, as they've progressed you've need to do and know more. regression.

Anyway, I didn't say it wasn't at all valid. I said it wasn't entirely valid.

That's clearly incorrect
Back in the days of MS-DOS you needed to really know what you were doing to get programs running, let alone networking. Most home networks now can be set up with the bare minimum of technical knowledge, you just plug it in. Installing new hardware is virtually always plug in and reboot, no installing drivers, no reconfiguring your set up or anything.

So I think you should retract that comment.
