In her blog, the author (Elaine Ou) is conflating different meanings of the word "interested".

When people ask, "how do I get my daughter _interested_ in computers?", they often mean:

- "interested" == "find joy/play/fun"

But Elaine's essay is answering it by interpreting "interested" this way:

- "interested" == "understand and value the practical business work skills"

Using substitution, Elaine interprets the question as: "how do I get my daughter to understand and value the practical business work skills in computers?"

It doesn't mean Elaine's perspective is not valid. However, we have to be aware that she's not addressing what many people mean by being "interested".
