Answer 3

Today's people live in a world that is virtually dominated by computers (pun intended). A person is hard-pressed to find a moment of the day that he or she is not looking at some form of computer screen, be it your actual desktop, or your cell phone, or even your television set, these are all controlled in the background by a computer, in some form. In order to interact with this world, one must use a computer to do it. Just 50 years ago, one had to be literate in their native language to be able to read and write letters, the best form of communication at the time. Now, with email, word processing, social media, etc, one has to know how to operate a computer in order to participate in the world. If someone cannot turn his or her computer on, or start up their web browser, or practice safe browsing habits, use their email client, etc, etc, they are effectively dead in the water. It would be like handing a young child a pen and paper, and asking them to write an essay on the state of the country. It simply isn't going to work until that child has been taught first how to write, then how to read, then about the state of the country.
