He has a degree in industrial engineering according to Wikipedia, logical thinking should come naturally to him. My high school decades ago teaches logic gates for it's computer literacy curriculum. He might not be a programmer, but probably has exposure to these topics in general education.
I mean no offence to you. But education departments these days assume "kids have phones and iPads and must be computer geniuses" and stop teaching general computer courses. That's a problem.
They do, several third party options and of course the Microsoft store too. It's the users who are stuck in their old ways, which ironically is the harder way. Weird.
