Are your parents tech wizards? How about your grandparents?
Generational differences aside, pretty much everyone is clueless about some aspects of technology. You call yourself tech savvy, and I don't doubt you're correct, but I do doubt that your knowledge has no holes. Mine has plenty. And of course the general population's knowledge skews much thinner than HN readers. Many are on the Internet nearly every day of their lives, but ask them about something outside of the few select apps they use, and you're greeted with blank stares. Whether or not they have children is pretty much irrelevant. Giving birth may trigger some instinctive behaviors that come with a certain functional knowledge, but the layers in the OSI model aren't generally included.
