    Not literally everyone, but there was a time period where it seemed much more common than not, at least in the US. When it was taught to children starting in elementary school, and taking advanced classes was required for many jobs, it seemed rare to meet someone who wasn’t knowledgable. I guess it isn’t included in children’s education or business education these day.

      Personal computers used to be widely used because it was the only way to get online. We now have a new generation of users who use their phones to access the Internet and owning a computer is no longer required. Almost everyone has a phone. Not everyone has a computer.
