The title is very confusing. And the article is like a long essay.

Here is a summary by Chat GPT:

The web page is a blog post by a teacher who argues that most kids today can’t use computers effectively. He shares several anecdotes of students and adults who lack basic computer skills, such as troubleshooting, googling, and programming. He criticizes the education system for not teaching computer literacy and problem-solving, and he urges parents and teachers to help kids become more competent and confident with computers. He also warns that relying too much on technology can make us vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation by those who control it.
