Well, my computer knowledge extends back to some form of MS-DOS when I was 4 years old. Back then, you either knew how to operate a command line interface or you didn't know how to actually use a computer to do anything on your own.

Now the entire world uses computers for almost every single job. And yet, we live in a time where people are not proficient with the tools they are using to live and work.

If your mechanic said, "I'm not much of a wrench person" you'd take your car elsewhere.

If your typical office worker said, "I'm not much of a computer person" , 90% of their colleagues would nod, grin, and say "I know right! Computers are so dumb! So hard to use!"
