It was startling to find out that John McCain saw himself as computer illiterate and much more so, that people cared. Amazingly I do bump into people who tell me that they do not need to know how to use the computer; they will pay someone else to do it for them.
To me that's like saying I do not need to learn how to drive a car, I will get someone to do it for me. Learning to drive a car and use a computer are things that bring greater freedom in our lives. We find it weird that others do not strive to attain this freedom. Maybe some people are so bound with fear that they can not grasp new things. Maybe there are other reasons also.
Regardless, from my experience in my years of computer training, it brings many people joy to learn that the computer is not as hard as they perceived it would be and...it brings them joy to be able to participate with others in a new way.
Hopefully if you are like John McCain, you will discover this joy.
