More of a failure of the education system. It was part of our curriculum that taught us how to use a computer, what internet is, how to use office (openoffice rather), sending emails, elements of UI, ...etc. This is 1998 I'm talking about - geez that's 23 years ago. I didn't grow up with a computer and this is how I learnt how to use one. This is basic computer literacy and there's nothing wrong in teaching it. (Way more important than programming IMO) Same with banking, composing a letter, sending money orders - you name it. We had one subject dedicated to this starting 9th grade. These days because tech is everywhere we seem to assume that we don't have to teach it in a formal way.
