>It is sad though, that young people appear to be less computer literate in terms of creating content (as an overall percentage of previous generations).

Previous generations? How many generations back do you imagine widespread computer use to go?

Jerry Pournelle was considered cutting edge for using a word processor to write as early as 1977. Adobe Illustrator is from 1987 and Photoshop is from 1990.

There haven't been a whole lot of generations in the 41 years since the Apple II was released (about 2 generations, given 20 years per generation).

I can tell you that kids from my generation (baby boomers) had almost no computer literacy. Most of us never even touched a computer until adulthood (if then).
