It is important to have at least a basic knowlege of computers, especially in today’s society…but it is not something you HAVE to know.

I don’t know how to put this without it coming out as insulting so I’ll just ask it. Aren’t you unclogging sewer lines for a living and unemployed half the time jumping from dead end job to dead end job? Maybe if you put computer skills a little higher up on your list of things you NEED to know life would get a little easier. The day I saw the local delivery guy for lowes having to use a PDA to be dispatched to his next dropoff was the day I realized every level of the employment chain is going to need computer skills very soon.
Sure, post apocalypse social order may get reversed entirely, but tomorrow when you’re filling out your resume the fact that you’re proficient in basic computer usage and maintenance is going to carry a lot more weight than the majority of the items on that list.
Well, unless the apocalypse is tomorrow.
