Really? You can tell the difference among different type of antibiotics? Sure, you should know that taking an antibiotic for a flu (unless there are complications needing them) is useless, still, how many do that? Do you really know which drugs shouldn't be used together, for example? Which is the recommended dose?
You can read the leaflet, sure....
People should know they need to keep their routers up to date. Should be aware of basic network safety. Could be guided to perform simple operations. But asking them to understand networking, is a big stretch...
