The difference is that you don’t need to be car savvy not to get into an accident. But you do need to be tech savvy not to be at risk of cyberthreats.

Drivers truly don’t need to know how a car works, software is not like that.

Also, you can get by without a car, whereas most people need at least an email address.

Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes. Do people think that you need to know about how engines work to drive a car. Or do people don’t think you need to understand file structure to manage excel files?
