- crocodiletears 6y agoI'm referring primarily to gaming subcultures (board and video). Tech illiterate may not be the proper term. But most geeky people I know (even the ones who build their own PCs, and dabble in scripting) have a very cargo-cultish understanding of computing technologies. Dilettantes, perhaps?
