The social stuff which is complex is something which is a barrier, but one that all western society members who are modern communications literate are fundamentally equipped to handle. Some will fail at it but you really just need to be good at electronic communications, functionally literate, and social enough to handle basic give and take discussions.
This seems to beg the question: How do you define "modern communications literate"?
Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, smartphone user.
Those are a 95%+ solution for kids and young adults, if not 99%, and are easy enough for older adults (my parents, etc) to the point that they're arguably better than an 80% solution for the US population.
If we were that good, we'd be golden.
