I had a phone conversation the other day where someone claimed that he couldn't trust some of his staff to fill out a simple spreadsheet properly.
I've had other conversations with people who don't even know what a web browser is, even though they use one all the time.

The mistake some of my colleagues have made over the years, is to equate general knowledge of tech to a general intelligence and sneer at people for the lack of it.
