The fundamental roadblock here is: people are generally done with 'learning' when they become adult. Not learning computers or software, or anything else in particular. Just learning. There seems to be a somewhat common idea that 'education' and 'learning' is for children, and as an adult, you should have better things to do. Sadly, we can see all around where such an idea leads us.

Oh wow, I have never heard of such a thing. I hope those people are okay. I know if I stopped learning things i'd probably die from boredom, because all you can do at that point is repeat yourself.

That view definitely needs to change for the people who hold it.
