Is it ok to be technologically Illiterate?

Teacher Karl Fisch wrote a blog: http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2007/09/is-it-okay-to-be-technologically.html. It was mainly about how he struggles with how far behind many teachers, and people in general seem to be with technology. It is a rapidly growing part of our world today and to not understand how even some of it works can keep you cut off from the world. He feels that there should be certain requirements for teachers, pricipals and the administration alike to know about technology. Because without their knowledge, how are students going to be able to advance in it themselves if their own teachers do not know it??

I completely agree with this idea. Our world is relying more and more on technological advances everyday. With this being the case, we can not really afford to have our educators and their administrators be illiterate on the subject. i think that they should have to know an exceptional amount about these things in order to even be considered as a teacher.
