I'm a huge fan, but professing total ignorance of all things technology reminds me of being in the fourth grade. Luckily for him doing an IAMA on Reddit doesn't involve performing sex acts on a donkey. Seriously, either he's become one of America's most successful standups in spite of his complete naivete, or he's a lot more shrewd than he's making out.

Actually, if I remember correctly from his interview on the WTF podcast, his father is a programmer and Louis was always pretty technologically adept. E.g. he edits his TV show himself on his MacBook.

Not his father, his mother.

Professing total ignorance of all things technology != professing ignorance of Reddit and torrents.

It takes less than 30 seconds to understand what a torrent or Reddit is. Or does CK not know how to find and understand (read) basic information?

You're taking this way too seriously. Comedians claim ignorance all the time to sound funny. It doesn't mea. They are real ignorant or stupid.

Too bad his comedy doesn't translate over text.
