This after discovering that when my his mother was young, for some reason she had to attend a FORTRAN class - which his grandmother also attended! He's the first person I know whose grandparent has learnt programming... however well or badly.
My grandfather could program in C. My great uncle could program in BASIC, and is the person who first taught me the basic concepts of programming (like, loops and if statements) when I was, like, 6. Just sayin'. Don't doubt the abilities of old people and little kids.
