How can anybody get tech savvy without trying? I had no idea what I was doing the first time I tried to change the clutch on a moped, and that went reasonably well with the help of a Haynes type manual. Then I went on to more and more advanced stuff. Now I am 44 and in the middle of rebuilding a '81 Buick V6 turbo completely, so there has been a certain development on that front. And I could go on with personal tales of computer experimenting, the amateur plumber, electrician and so on. Learn by doing!
Or I could tell you about my father, who bought his first computer ten years ago without knowing anything about them. Two years later he started his own hobby website (wooden sailboats) and that's now one of the biggest and most popular of it's kind in Scandinavia. And he's been on Facebook for several years, I don't even go there!
