I feel you. Programming and other computer science is really hard to explain to a mogul. Most concepts rely on the interlocuteur’s understanding and acknowledgment that sending an email isn’t just magic, or just works. That it takes. Lot of smart people actively making sure those machines are working and talking together at all time. And when you try to explain, I bet they start looking at you with the feeling that they just developed instant ADHD.
