I posted this in another child comment, but I think the same response is appropriate. I've miscommunicated.

I'm referring primarily to gaming subcultures (board and video). Tech illiterate may not be the proper term. But most geeky people I know (even the ones who build their own PCs, and dabble in scripting) have a very cargo-cultish understanding of computing technologies.

Dilettantes, perhaps?
