> Honestly I just think it means that this stuff really isn't all that difficult. I mean, I agree. I don't personally think this stuff is difficult; "smart" in this case can be in opposition to either "too irrational to spend the time on high ROI computer literacy" or "unintelligent enough that the ROI _isn't_ worth it". I really don't think that the latter is true of most people, but that's the excuse people often give for making intentionally uninformed personal computing decisions. > I think many of us overestimate our own intelligence just because we have worked with computers our whole lives. Yea, this is definitely not what I'm saying. Frankly, I don't think you have to be all that smart to be an engineer, let alone computer literate.
