Yeah, I find myself beating this drum here. My grandparents were greatest/silent generation and half of them did the deer in the headlights thing when a computer came up. My grandfather on the other hand worked on PDP stuff back in that era and my grandmother made a point to learn it all. Perhaps they were exceptional, but it was learnable even for them. My boomer dad brought home a 486 when I was a kid and told me not to tell my mom how much he paid for it. He probably didn't need it back then, but it was the start of the internet and he thought it was cool.
