This attitude is completely unhelpful. It throws those who are otherwise ignorant under the bus simply because they don't (can't?) understand how modern tech works. Is that really fair? Must we really divide the world up this way? Most of the public hasn't caught up to how modern systems work and what the trade-offs really are, and they certainly won't if this is the approach we choose to take.
It's almost reminiscent of Morlocks and Eloi from HG Well's Time Machine.
