Not to over generalize, but ... is the only generation that has a substantially large cohort who knows how computers generally work from top to bottom?

This is a about the new functional illiteracy of our times.

@scuttlebutt i remember explaining hexadecimal to an fe dev once; why #ffffff was ‘white’, basically. and she said “where did you learn this” and the answer was high school.

You can also see that yourself on a computer screen. Using a color picker that lets you separately control red, green, and blue brightness, you'll observe that setting all three to the same value results in black, gray, or white.
