The domain is information not technology.
We need to drop the attitude that technology is a new scary thing it's not. Technology is an extension of our selves we have been using it for thousands of years to expand our ability.
Pen and paper was the old technology if you don't know how to use it you are illiterate, if you don't know how to use the new technology you are still just illiterate.
The baby boomer attitude of "I can't be arsed to improve as a person so every one else has to dumb it down for me" is unacceptable.

I will download any random crap on my iPhone knowing that it can’t do much damage and has a strict permission system. I very careful about what I download on my computer.
- lm28469 7y ago> I can't be arsed to improve as a person so every one else has to dumb it down for me Do you apply that to yourself out of tech ? Are you literate in art, philosophy, astrology, history, chemistry, medicine, &c. (more than surface knowledge) ? Where do you draw the line ? Is using google maps without knowing how the GPS system works in details an issue ? What about cooking ? Do you know which chemical reactions create tastes ? Are you buying food from supermarkets, why don't you hunt and grow your own ? > The baby boomer attitude As if millennials+ were better. Using a pc/smartphone daily doesn't mean you're tech literate, it's a prime example of familiarity != knowledge.
