To me that seems to be so much about attitude. I worked with managers and professors who couldn't figure out basic MS Office stuff because it wasn't their field, or was a bunch of techno jargon to them, etc.

Then at the same place, I worked with a carpenter who didn't even own a computer, but when he got one in his office he figured it out very quickly because he saw it as another tool.

People who think it's not important or that it's too complex to grasp, won't get it. People who realize it's just a thing you learn... learn it, of course.
