You're right-I think my Dad was definitely the basis of the problem! And I am very much an advocate of it being the way you teach it.
There's things I've taught to friends and family-I'm talking just every day things but it's the same principle-such as my Grandmother who was adamant she wouldn't get a mobile 'phone-we were all worried about her not being contactable, and she wasn't having it-she'd never get it, etc..People had given up on her ever getting one but I think they just didn't understand WHY she didn't understand and I took time to.
I sat down with her for around an hour and ran her through how they worked-how to use hers, what things meant etc and she's never off the thing now
