I do feel kinda bad for people. There's very few jobs left where you don't interact with a computer in some form or another, and the reality is that it's not for everyone. Of course most people can benefit from using these "tools" but since they're always upgrading, there keeps being something new to learn.
Personally, I love technology and playing around with new tech. However, if I'm great at sales or a lawyer or something, that's where I add value, not in knowing how a computer works. So I can see how people get frustrated with it.
In the end it boils down to, pretty much everyone needs IT, but IT doesn't need everyone. Think about it, when was the last time you worked at a company where an employee didn't have a computer or need a computer for some task that they do?
Everyone who uses a computer has a responsibility to understand the basics of how it works because computer usage is so ubiquitous to daily life, and that's true regardless of your field.
I have worked(as pedagog and construction) with people that doesn't give a sit about IT. But are forced to it, and it's just to document they're work to bosses ex. So they just do what is needed and if there is a problem it's not they're respons to get it working, this must be the guy/lady that forced them to it, BUT they have zero sense to solve it problems.
