Me, for one.  A friend of mine, for another, who knows nothing about
computers (I explained what byte order was to her, and that different
machines have different byte order, then asked her how she would solve the
problem of having different byte-sex machines talking to each other.  She
came up with a standard byte order and telling the other machine what your
byte order is so that it can swap [or vice versa]).
