    People know what an app is. They may not understand how it works fully but you’re gunna have to be ok with the fact that this is a mildly niche community and you can know a lot of tech stuff these days without being particularly passionate about it.

    Trump not knowing what an app is just shows that he’s beyond regular stupid, below even what could be considered the barest level of “in touch”.

      They know app icons. That’s about it. I don’t think most people could even define the difference between software and hardware.

      As someone in IT, you’re vastly overestimating people.

        People know what cars are without being experts in how internal combustion engines work. People know what “apps” are.

          And still you’re vastly ridiculously over estimating people, from all age groups. You’re quite literally holding the opinion you do because Trump said the opposite, you’re doing the meme. Most people can’t tell you what an app is, they press on familiar icons the same as they do on a browser.
