I'm literally mentioning adults in my comment. Adults have agency. Babies don't. Weird choice of comparison. As for the car analogy: You're right, but you also accept the consequences of that choice which is mostly limited to having to pay for a mechanic every once in a while. The consequences of tech illiteracy is much worse (more comparible to actual illiteracy): - Lower employability. - Easier to get scammed / have data leaked or hacked. - Easier to get manipulated by platforms (social media are comparable to priests interpreting the bible to people before literacy was common). - On a societal scale, when enough people are affected, the above leads to instability, proliferation of dis- and misinformation on a societal scale. - Per av above, destabilising of democracy. I'm sure people argued the same about people not having to learn to read / write during the enlightenment. Im happy they did not win out. Tragically, it appears we are going the opposite direction this time.
