I expect people to be able to connect devices, since the ports are labeled and shape matched. (And often color coded, too.)

I expect people to be able to perform slightly-nontrivial Google searches ('site:' and similar tags; Boolean operators).

I expect people to have the equivalent of "electrons flow in copper" (electricity) or "explosions push the pistons" (ICEs) level of understanding of what's in a computer and what it does, what the internet is and how traffic flows across it.

Now, the reasons some of these don't happen is poor teaching materials, but I think we need to get to that point -- where everyone knows at least those things -- before we can sanely discuss technology as a society. Democracy will break down -- is breaking down -- because most of the electorate refuses to know even the basics of one of the major social forces.
