Just because you now have to know how to press various buttons doesn't mean that you now have to know more now. It simply means that you have to know different things. Go back a few hundred years to a time with no electricity, running water, packaged foods, etc. You would have had to know how to build and keep fires going, how to make soap, bread, beer or wine. Possibly how to spin and weave as well as making clothes, furniture, tools and so on. How to preserve food when there were no cans or firdges. The list is endless.
What is really different is that now we have a much greater choice of entertainment and much greater access to sources of information. We also have higher literacy rates, and some of us make use of these opportunities.
