I'm teaching someone now to use a PC.
He's never used one in his life, so ot's "this is a mouse, sort of thing. Quite satisfying, if a little tiring and frustrating.

We're not that advanced yet.
Good on the guy though, he's in his sixties.

So what you're saying here is that he's only been around computers

It can happen.
And believe it or not there are jobs which don't require computers. Say for example, gardening.

After this amount of time it's because they're scared of them or stupid

He worked as a labourer.
