The first bolded part, that's just lol. But for the second, the youth literacy rate there is 55%. It's low enough that it might not be that horrible of an assumption. But combined with the first part, yeah...
The literacy rate in the US has 54% of the adult population reading under an 8th grade comprehension level. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltnietzel/2020/09/09/low-literacy-levels-among-us-adults-could-be-costing-the-economy-22-trillion-a-year/?sh=5c4986554c90
Not sure what the US has to do with this. But I guess if you wanted to compare the literacy rates, Ethiopia is at 51.8 adult literacy rate and the US at 86%.
Not sure what we get out of that comparison though.
That line reads like some Boomer who has no idea how computers work. Doing what they did to those tablets required the prior ability to read.
