The linked post shows how most non-tech people's understanding of email is very very different from most of the people here.

That's fine but when people use technology every day, their phones, computers, ect.. and not know what a web browser is that's a whole different level of ignorance. Not just computing tho also cars. I barely know much about cars but I understand the idea of an engine, like you said it's okay to know enough. If something breaks on my car I look it up on YouTube and learn a little more slowly. Some people tho will drive a car everyday for their entire life and not understand what a piston even is.
