technological illiteracy

Tidak jelas apakah ybs memilih kamera yang itu karena dia “gaptek” atau supaya tidak “gaptek”. Dugaan saya adalah bahwa dia memilihnya karena tingkat kerumitannya tidak setinggi kamera-kamera yang lain. Jadi kalau dia kotak-katik kamera tersebut tingkat “kegaptekan”nya tidak akan terlalu kentara alias tidak “gaptek”, dan tentu saja agar ia bisa memakainya, meskipun dia menilai dirinya “gaptek”. Jadi bisa diterjemahkan “I chose this digital camera so that I wouldn’t be hindered by my lack of technological illiteracy.”
