I'm all for increasing real computer literacy, but I see two factors working against any meaningful effort to do so:
1. The powers that be don't want the average person to understand how to make computers work for them.
2. Most people probably never wanted to deal with computers in the first place, and are happy to leave such thankless work to people they despise as "geeks" and "nerds".
Of course, the problem with the second issue is that people who are content to be Eloi and leave the technical stuff to Morlocks tend to forget that Morlocks have their own word for Eloi: dinner.
Never had looked at it as point 2 before, but you're probably right it's a factor. Interesting.
