It seems obvious to us, but computer literacy in out country (and the world) is quite low. I think this underlines how bad it is. Can you imagine if the English literacy rate were only a few %? It wouldn't be uncommon to hear of people doing strange things since they wouldn't be able to read warning signs.
- shakna 10y agoYou're right, but it is depressing. I find it akin to hiring a librarian who cannot read. Either because they're cheap, or they have the right friends.
- brian-armstrong 10y agoIn this case, I think it's probably because most librarians can't read, or at least many in publicly funded libraries. It's hard to point to one illiterate librarian when their colleagues are also illiterate.
- hota_mazi 10y ago> Can you imagine if the English literacy rate were only a few % People would start to confuse "your" and "you're" or "its" and "it's". Quite a scary thought.
- ScottBurson 10y agoWe would definitely be lead into the abyss.
- KennyCason 10y ago> People would start to confuse "your" and "you're" or "its" and "it's". I am genuinely trying to determine if this is a joke. :) People already do confuse those! I have unfortunately seen many arguments on Facebook over the correct usage.

- jamaicahest 10y agoI think the point is this is not reddit, jokes not very constructive in a debate, however funny.
- KennyCason 10y ago:) In hindsight it should have been pretty obvious haha.
- Ar-Curunir 10y agoThis is pretty much almost already the case for mathematics; understanding of basic mathematical concepts in the general public is piss poor. No one is up in arms about that.
