Good post. The lack of knowledge about computers in the general population is similar to a modern kind of analphabetism imo. That's not to say that everyone has to be a programmer but the console commands you mentioned are def a good starting point.
Although I've been a consumer of websites and online information since the dial up modem, it wasn't until I tried out mynode that I realised a web server doesn't have to be a million dollar server farm, but can be the humble raspberry pi. There's no reason for the average person to be an analphabet. A risky path to not educate oneself if you ask me.
