People should have at least a general understanding of how things work.
Back when I studied CS, you hade to build your own 8-bit computer and program it in machine language. Given that that is no longer a requirement, I guess most people who study CS now and in the near past don't really understand how computer really work.
Making CS a graduation requirement is pointless. Teach them other computer related matter. Online safety, your posts last forever so be mindful of what you post. How to spot scams and/or disinformation. Etc.

I'm old enough to have started photography in the film days. Other than black and white film developed using B&W developers, color film was color corrected automatically and a standard tone curve was also applied during printing. Color films does not have a gamut that accurately reflect the color seen by the human eye.
By the your logic and that moronic exec, even film photos are fake.

Do you still have a home phone, then?
Yes, a VOIP number that we've had for more than a decade and attached are answering and fax machines.

to the point that we crave these glasses like a drug, like we crave our iPhones today
I was 43 when the first iPhone was released. As such I did not grow up with a smartphone and I don't find myself addicted to it. When I'm at home the phone goes into the charging cradle and stays there until I leave the house or go into the shop.
Perhaps smartphone addiction is a generational thing?
