You can't teach an old dog new tricks?

I recently introduced my father to blogging. After I gave him instructions on how to get started, I went on to give him advice like some sort of seasoned blogger. Like he needed any. Like I'm someone to look to for advice. All I've managed till now is 2 posts, 3 if you include this one.

I've always been the authority in my house when it came to the computer, up until I left for college i.e. I was allowed to fix any problems that the old man caused. Still my computer time remained limited ( though not unfairly, those being my board exam years and all that jazz).

I always ask him why he keeps asking me the same doubts over and over again. " I'm getting old. Its harder to learn as you get older" , he always says. Rather, in my opinion, as you get older, you get lazier and need to be told how a particular thing works. What he doesn't realise is that after a few tries, and overcoming the initial fear of messing things up, he seems to do just fine.
