I don't mean to offend anybody by saying most people are 'happy being ignorant in their computer use'. Also, I don't think these people are ignorant in a general sense: they just have different interests.
When you say you have 'more faith in society than that' I reply by saying that the fact most people are not as interested in computers as we (the readers of newsforge.com) are is hardly an indication of a faulty society.
And I really do believe the use of the word 'most' is legitimate in this context. The mistake many people make is assuming their environment (friends, colleagues, family etc) is representative of the general level of computer-literacy. Beware of this!
