I was sitting in a restaurant and overheard two middle aged women somewhere
in their early 50s talking about their phones down to what kind of cpu they
have, to all the features, the switching of home screen it was quite
interesting and amusing since non-techie folks are now doing what a lot of
us with tech backgrounds have been doing  for quite some time.

If something is compelling they will learn everything about it.  Apple does
a pretty good job with this.  If the product is compelling people will
figure it out.

BTW - this season I've seen two blockbuster movies all with Linux in it.
I'm amused that they were used for their techie look.  The movies was
"Social Networking" and "Tron".  More movies please, it makes hyping this
stuff easier.
