That last statement is not necessarily true. Becoming technologically illiterate, outside of bona fide medical problems like Alzheimer's making it impossible to think, is a choice. Say no to becoming that person.
- Dalewyn 4y agoI say no to becoming that person, but I can see myself becoming that person (like most people who came before me) because I simply do not have the time, money, nor energy to chase after and learn everything in the world. I have had the fortunate pleasure of interacting with many genuinely intelligent, skilled, wise people, but it wouldn't surprise me if those same people couldn't understand computers or whatever new fangled tech that comes our way. I don't necessarily blame them either, lives are limited and they spent what they have in places they felt were worth it; we can't have everything.
- Karunamon 4y agoNobody, least of all me, is asking you to chase after and learn everything in the world. The word used is "literacy", not "proficiency". You only become illiterate (again, barring actual impediment) by outright rejecting the opportunity to learn, and that is something chosen.
