The problem with tech literacy is that a lot of it has a limited lifetime. Like, you have N hours to spend on education, and when I look at the material that schools cover, I think that most of it is at least intended to be more “timeless” – that is, you should still be able to make use of it as a retiree.
Also, at least some of those are, I think, really better addressed by technical fixes to existing systems. Like, okay, having smartphone-OS-style sandboxed applications being the norm for a lot of software on the desktop might do a good deal to improve things.
