How to help someone use a computer

quote [ Don't take the keyboard. Let them do all the typing, even if it's slower that way, and even if you have to point them to every key they need to type. That's the only way they're going to learn from the interaction. ]

From 1996, seems solid. (judgemental owl thumb)

I think the "help" in the title is apposite, but it reads as, "how you should help someone use a computer, if you don't want to put them off learning altogether". Of course, you should weigh this against your own needs and the exigencies of the situation. I agree, this is not how to help someone fly a plane.

EDIT: ..not how to help a novice pilot fly a plane in a firefight. I know one pilot and I think she'd try to follow some of the principles in this article.
