Yeah my wife has students who are in college that can't sign up for a Gmail account on their own. She actually spends a great deal of her time teaching basic computer literacy because she doesn't think that the kids can succeed in 'real life' without those skills. And that's on top of teaching them to think critically, to analyze sources of information, and to develop rational arguments that are based on facts rather than "My daddy always said..." which is an opening sentence that she gets far too often.
