The average person in the late 20th century had little to no practical technical or mechanical knowledge, unlike the 19th and early 20th century. How many office workers, computer techs, sales girls or cafe workers know anything about fixing their own car, let alone building a useful weapon or even growing a field of corn?
There are still a few people with the ability of course, but as a percentage of the total population, it's significantly less than a hundred years before.
