I thought that when comparing people being technologically illiterate today with people in the 20th century not being able to read or write, he made a valid point. The world is growing more and more dependent on computers. Sure, you can still be successful today not knowing a lot about computers, but the class of 2020 will not have a successful future being computer illiterate. My dad is a deputy VP for a company, and he has no clue how to run searches on the web let alone type without "chicken pecking". A few years from now, that will not be an acceptable standard.
However, we should not judge teachers so harshly. Teachers do have a lot on their plates both at school and personally, but they should still do their job with the future in mind. We're supposed to prepare the children for that future, so teachers and principals need to advance themselves in order to advance the children.
