Not dumb? I couldn't explain simple games like flood and untangle[0] to my grandma. She can drive a car, do online banking (learned 10 years ago), memorize facts, but any new logic seems to be beyond her or at least extremely slow. I don't know how I'll ever explain the concept of fake download links which are not memorization but I guess something like pattern recognition.
