Do you realise you are not talking to a child? "101 computing" is

What do you mean by that? Are you addressing a computer hardware

You place a child at the same level as a rubber duck?! A child can

Bring me a child whose mental ability is within the norm and we will
see whether I can explain to him/her how a computer works. Although it
should be unnecessary to state the obvious, a child cannot understand
any concepts that are beyond his mental age.
