I consider myself very knowledgeable about computers and computing.

Yet I could not fix my car, my microwave or my refrigerator if my life depended on it.

Does it make me less? Is it wrong that I use my car 2 hours a day and the only thing I know is to press a bunch of buttons?

Not for me. I enjoy CompSci technology. I wouldn't like to spend my time fixing my car.

I don't expect an average user going about fixing their computer. It's more like they know how to drive a car, however it's always in 1st gear and in a straight line.
