The two are inextricably linked. Deep computer literacy requires regular literacy as well as the ability to learn and analyze independently. Both of the latter, when dealing with computers, rely on the former. There’s a literacy crisis in the US with significant downstream impacts that’s largely been ignored because the cause is profitable.
But the meme was about tech illiterate people dude

That’s a bit farfetched.
Following that argument every single skill in life is dependant on literacy and I’m pretty sure illiterate people are still able to learn and analyze.
Even if not, technically illiterate people can actually read a button or menu item.
