Come up with an analogy to something they'll understand about how complexity has changed. Maintenance on a jet engine vs a horse-drawn cart. Or cooking pasta vs a seven layer cake. Or upgrading the plumbing in an off-the-lot double-wide vs a one of a kind skyscraper. Changing the ID system for an elementary school vs a state university. Etc. You can probably come up with something appropriate to this specific situation.
