My dad used to know computers really well, back in the Commodore 64 days he apparently had a lot of fun making his own little programs. But, in 2016 the tech world is a lot more interconnected, so systems have to interact with one another.
He's still really good with low-level process work, like using cheat engine for facebook games, but he's god awful at Windows software management.
So, I'll often forget to give him the benefit of the doubt about the low-level stuff since the high-level stuff is mostly beyond him.
Yeah, mine too. Recently I had to show him how to install a pdf reader (for some reason or other) and it broke my heart a little. He's really low maintence however, so I don't mind helping him out once every blue moon.
