It is not enough to just know technology but like any other tool a great deal depends on the users ability to think and solve problems in general. I remember when calculators first became widespread. I would trust a good engineer's slide rule result over a less able engineer's calculator result (although the wrong calculation was accurate to 10 digits). I suspect much of technology is the same way.
I agree with the OP that being tech savvy is very important, but not nearly as important as being able to think and problem solve in the first place. Tech can be learned, good sense not so much.
