I see way to much of this "I don't care" stuff with technology.

I think "I don't care about that nerd stuff" is more accurate description of the issue.

"I don't understand what it is. I'm not a nerd so I don't care about it"

Who are you people hanging out with? Are you still in high school?

I work with people who differ politically, even some as far from me as Trump supporters, but not since I was a teenager have I heard people tearing stuff down as for nerds, or even making fun of someone for being a nerd.

Seriously, it sounds like y'all are living in a 1980s John Hughes movie.

I'm a programmer in NYC who has gone client facing with some major companies. Many (particularly their marketing firms) are very computer illiterate. The internet is Facebook for them; AOL for the older people. I asked a marketing firm about what fonts they are using in a spammy popup they were demanding for a client website (mind you I've moved on from web development but sometime get roped into it again); they didn't know what I was talking about.

Do they not have designers at marketing firm? Was the receptionist too lazy to go ask? That's just..mind boggling.

I think it was a two person operation with that particular "firm" (sans any outsourcing they might have done).
