I taught my parents how to torrent in the mid 2000s. They were in board pretty quick with napster and other p2p so it wasn't hard to explain. My dad technically has a degree in computer programming but that was punch cards and he didn't get a job doing anything with computers so he didn't keep up more than casually, but he knows how they work fundamentally and that is a huge boost in starting point. He still thinks they're made of magic and capable if doing things on their own
