I am not sure how to convince people that it is worth it to try. I am frankly still feeling lost and burned out by computers.
My half cent: what might help is reminding that there is nothing for free. Convenience costs privacy, personal skills, cognitive abilities and freedom. One should ask oneself - is this trade worth it? Do I want to be dependent on someone else? If more and more things in my life depend on something out of my control which can disappear one day, who I really am? If someone will still make decision to choose convenience then at least they are aware of cost.

And more thing which say folks on gym - no pain, no gain. If you spend the time on crossing learning curve, then you not only gain a skill, you also increase your self-confidence. And no rush, it is not a sprint, but a marathon.
