The 'rest of us' are a shrinking minority.. people who want to look under the hood are going to be less and less as computers become more comodities.

I beg to differ. F/OSS will eventually become ubiquitous providing the resources to countless numbers of new developers that wish to 'look under the hood'. I haven't counted lately, but either there are a lot more F/OSS developers or they've all just recently setup project homepages.

I do think that the people like your grandfather (soon to be you and I) either became overwhelmed by the change or became mechanics. (FWIW, I agree with him on the point of automatics.)
