People who live in tribes far from electricity and telephones may have never seen computers. No problem. Less and less likely to be true but there may still be some somewhere.

Yanamamos would think that computers are "possessed by jungle demons"? Sounds like projection. Consider Arthur C. Clarke's third law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." See also, "The Gods Must Be Crazy."

At least you're not arguing that Yanomamos can never be taught to use a computer.
