Not the article, but Balthor's semi-on-topic post
Per dictionary.com
literate (adjective): "4. having knowledge or skill in a specified field: literate in computer usage. "
expert (noun): "1. a person who has special skill or knowledge in some particular field; specialist; authority: a language expert. "
Someone who is literate in the classical sense (i.e. able to read written words) will generally be able to sit down, pick up a book, & be able to read with few to no pauses to look up a particular word -- unless, of course, they picked up some extremely technical journal (i.e. American Physiological Society Abstracts). However, one can be a "literate" reader without being an "expert" writer.
By the same token, one can be "computer literate", yet not be comfortable with the process of restoring their PC from scratch after replacing a hard drive. My wife and her sister, for example, are very computer literate (you could probably even label my wife "computer savvy"), but when it comes to computer issues that require "experts" they call on me & my brother-in-law. Neither one of them really knows the difference between "bits" and "bytes", they know "kilo-" is smaller than "mega-" and "giga-" but don't necessarily know that 1 Mb = 1000 kb but 1 MB = 1024 kB, & they don't know why there's a difference between a 64-bit OS and a 32-bit OS...but for their level of computer literacy, they don't need to know it.
