This reminds me of a trick I would do when I was the teenage “computer guy” for my family and neighbors back in the nineties. When I was doing upgrades, I would make the person in question replace a few parts themselves.

I found that getting their elbows dirty went a long way toward perceiving computers as things that could be figured out.
