Slightly off-topic: My mother decided that she had to learn about this computer stuff too, now that her children were so involved in it. This was in the late 80's. So she grabbed the manual and started 'computering'. Turned out she took the BASIC manual by accident. After a while she had a small program running that printed some numbers on the screen, but she had no idea why she had to do this or what use this program had. In the end she's still the computer-person of my parental pair.
