It’s actually the 8-80 year olds that don’t know how to use computers.
Most people don’t know. They just know how to use a handful of programs. But the vast majority of them don’t understand the basic concepts behind them. Things like files and directories are nebulous at best.
Does it matter? A little, because so much stuff revolves around computers nowadays. Which means that they don’t really understand the world they’re navigating daily. OTOH, they live perfectly well as they are, so it clearly doesn’t matter to them.

It’s like understanding how a car works. Some people know what every sound is. Some people can’t even grasp what oil is.
We’re going to end up like that society in Star Trek that worships a computer.
But… The Computer is our friend!
