Ask HN: How to motivate a parent to learn CS?

With all the software and AI revolution, programming is so a basic need yet most people don't understand how Internet, computers, and software "really works" nor they do want to know or "have the time". But it's freaking important, aren't we all gonna explode if society is divided into the lucky tech "elite" and the plebe?

I know some parents in their 50s that could have had a computer and manual to code (BASIC, etc.) but didn't get one in their childhood (instead they got barbies or some consummer midly interesting stuff, etc.) eventually and now they are embittered towards maths but think that they could have been computer experts.

How would you teach a dad or mom in their 50s with professional basic experience (office software) in Windows, MacOs (typic folks who grew up in the prosperous 70s/80s) and a little time to spare from time to time especially the weekend?

Let's imagine they have a brand new computer (laptop/deskotp on MacOS) and have very low patience but a bit of curiosity. (They aren't nerds at all but the 70s born vibe make them like fame and nostalgic about some things I guess).

thanks
