Edward, you need to read a 101 computing book or a take primer in CS -

Do you realise you are not talking to a child? "101 computing" is
aimed for children.

Put down those programming tools until you understand how a computer works.

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

Can you explain how a computer works to a child or perhaps a rubber duck?

You place a child at the same level as a rubber duck?! A child can
understand provided any concepts used are within his/her mental age.

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.
