> Before we move to CS for all, can we at least solve the problem of Computer Literacy for all!?

This is only "CS for All" Harvey Mudd students; I don't think real computer illiteracy problem there.

> There's a huge population of people who simply cannot effectively use a computer. Can we fix that first?

If you mean to shift topic from what "CS for All" means in the title to "CS for All in the world", obviously, that inherently requires solving Computer Literacy for all. So, yes, we can solve that first, if we can solve either at all.

If you mean "CS for All" in the sense actually used in the title, then, demonstrably, no. Since the source linked from the title is the solution to "CS for All" in the sense used in the title, and yet, as you note, Computer Literacy for all (in the broader sense of "all" that you wish it solved for) is not solved.
