It would be like an auto mechanic who's 80+ refusing to use any computerized gadgets to work on cars - would they still be automechanic literate?
If they worked on computerized cars, definitely.
So taking that further, how does that relate to the human body.. it's not like it's had huge evolution in the past 60 years. Cars and other tech I totally get. But talking directly the stuff from the article - the ability to send a prescription - using a computer to send it is a convenience, the pharmacy itself can tap into the back end system to ensure that other issues don't arise.

No, but the means of working on them has.
Example: We used to bleed people out and use leeches or even poison people hundreds of years ago. If you kept doing that today thinking it was medicine, you'd be medically illiterate.
Today we have means of storing, protecting, relaying, monitoring, baselining, and diagnosing people that require computers. not using computers is akin to using leeches. Once upon a time it was good enough, today it is not.
Once upon a time, painting pictures of deer on cave walls was written literacy. Today we expect you to know thousands of words and sentence structures. What is literacy changes over time for the written language, as it does for professions.

British Crown getting pulled through the muck more and more. First the Queen had questionable off shore investments in schemes to defraud the pool. Now Prince Charles has been exposed for lobbying for legal changes that benefit his secret off shore investments.
-
@mlnews Yeah, the British crown had such a spotless and stellar reputation before these stories... Truly a shining beacon of only doing the right thing for many centuries now.

Waymo now has driverless cars on public roads in Phoenix, AZ.
A historic day, for sure. Hopefully this goes well and testing progresses quickly.

In general. They were a decade late to computerize internally, they were still on 1970s mainframes well into the 1990s, they can't make software or outsource software to save their lives, they are famous for being antiquated and backwards internally, even their resorts were a decade late at getting wifi.
-
Oh, and Disney didn't have its own URL for like 15 years. They were the last large company to have a web presence for their company.

What would you expect from a company founded by a xenophobic, racist, anti-semite f@ckbag? Walt Disney wasn't exactly forward thinking, not sure why you think the filthy profit whore of a company he left behind would be.
