I 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.
