I apologize if that came of as rude. By no way do i think of her as Dumb. (heck she's becoming a doctor! She studies like 5 times as hard as me!) I just meant she isn't that tech-savy (she's too cute to use the words "tag" and "compress" :P) But that doesn't mean she CAN'T learn. Heck she's a VERY fast learner when she WANTS to learn something. And i was just stating my own case not a general rule :) I have taughts tons of people programming too on an academic basis and they turned out to be great developers later on
Exactly, being "technologically challenged" isn't a bad thing, it just means you spent a lot of time in completely different areas. Technology isn't something special, it's just "yet another thing" that can be learned.

I have taught many "technologically challenged" people how to code. They say cute things like
... okay so how do I "compress" this file
... i used that "tag thingie" but its not working
but they still learn it and are able to build websites sometimes even faster then the "technologically exposed".
In general technologically challenged doesn't mean stupid. Its just a lack of exposure to the technologies and in time they get the hang of it.
