I think a certain amount of basic computer awareness and skill is a necessity in today's professional job market. Specialized knowledge should only be needed for specialized positions, however, everyone should have a basic grasp of how email works, how to find information on the Internet, and how to use Windows for daily work.

I think it means the position either uses (database) or services the units (software or hardware). Rather like a restaurant having a pre-requisite of food knowledge.
Many positions other than the construction trades, frequently use computers and the foremen at those jobs even need to be computer literate.
Welcome the the 21st century !

I think in todays day and age everyone should have some computer knowledge....even my 75 year old grandma has a computer and sends me emails daily!!! If you are working around computers (which even McDonalds workers need to know how to use the cash register which is a computer) they should be able to require that you know something!!

I would say it's normal in this era of high tech life styles and work environments, were 90% of the time you'll find a computer in the work area. witch is used for either punching in to ones time card or checking companies E-Mails.

um...i think its a VERy good idea, based on what kind of job you are applying for.
for a burger flipper, of course not.
for an administrative assistant, you better know enough.
