I have a brother who is an attorney and upper management in a fortune 500 company. He not only can't use a computer but can't even type. After years of having secretaries that had secretaries that had typist and computer operators, he just never had any reason or inclination to learn. But you don't get the kind of position that he had, retired now, by not having a few brains. He has 3 out of 4 children who work at that step up from programer, forgot what they are called. But none of them can go to court and try a case that has millions of dollars at stake. I watched my 4 year old grandson sitting on a cusion playing a game on the computer. He hunted and pecked at the time. Big sister of 6 read the directions but he was better at hunting and pecking. I walked in the room when he was muttering to himself, now just where is that "s". Ah to have had a vidio camera handy. I am sure there are plenty of brain surgeons out there who don't know how to turn one on. So knowing or not knowing how to operate a computer or any other skill by itself does not mean that you are or are not intelligent or have the ability to think.
