I (sort of) noticed this where I work.  When I started, in the late 1990s,
most of my coworkers didn't have computers at home.  The users were having
issues hiring people who could use one to access the systems.

Between then and now, that changed.  Coworkers had computers, and the users
were having trouble finding people who knew how to use a system that was
not all point and click because Windows ruled the home market.

Now, it is getting back to coworkers that don't have computers, and users
having trouble finding people who can interact with a computer, because
everyone uses their phones.  Social media access rules the market.

That last bit has come to light now that the systems are being upgraded to
be all point and click.  The new user hires don't know how to do even that.
