I totally agree. These days, people are content with Windows XP and IE because whatever they need to do at school or for recreation, they can just google it and find the solution. I'm 15, and people in my grade regard me as "good at computers", even though i know i'm barely knowledgable about programming. All i can really do is set up Windows, applications, etc., all of which is most of the time, requiring only common sense.
With regards to programming, our comp sci class is very basic. Our first year, we learn Turing. The problem is that with Turing, you get introduced into variables, procedures, functions, etc. but it's nothing that takes a year to grasp the concept of. I've tried learning c# by myself, but it is rather difficult as our private school does give out a lot of homework.
I'm not sure what the whole point of this post was, but what I guess i'm saying is that teenagers who have been using computers all their life, get bored of them and find more interesting things to do.
