In today's society being computer literate is more than just a nice skill, it is a skill necessary to get around in the world. Even now you are using a computer to read this post. You use a computer to E-mail your friends and family. Not only that, but most of the highest paying jobs are becoming so integrated with technology that you have to have a least a rudimentary understanding of computers so that you can communicate with your co-workers and use the tech that I just mentioned.
Even today surgeons, one of the highest paying jobs out there, are being helped by robots that are controlled by computers to help with surgery so that there are less errors or likelihood of complications.
How much money do you save every day with e-mail, as opposed to sending letters, not to mention how much faster it is, you can have a reply from a person in less than an hour, instead of the days it takes mail to travel.
And I mentioned that you are reading this post, how much information is at your fingertips, even right now? you can access search for information on a research paper, check your bank account, or even see what new games are coming out for you favorite system, all this could be done without computers, but think how much easier it is with a computer.
I come back to my point, although you may think that computers are a nice toy, but not something essential to our world, look around you, if you don't know how to use a computer you are effectively deaf, blind, and dumb, if not completely, then more than enough to make your life ten times more difficult.
