There is as much knowledge (if not much more) about computing among people in general.
The big difference compared to the 90s (not to mention earlier) is computing is mainstream. Back then, you would likely have a home desktop and some people had work PCs. Internet was still a somewhat niche technology and internet services were crude and in limited in scope.
These days everyone has at least a smartphone and most likely a notebook. Everything has gone digital. Even (some) government services are accessible via mobile apps.
But I said how they work, not, say, how to use a computer to get onto a website. I'm thinking of future generation's makers and tinkerers, which seemed to be the gist of the article you posted.
The surface of computing is quite polished nowadays, but that's not entirely helpful when you can't access anything under the surface to learn what makes it tick.
