Let's help them, shall we?
Tip# 1 - Tutor your dad during weekends. Teach like you're teaching a kindergartener. Make those technical words simple. You don't want to overwhelm him now. Treat that tutorial time as bonding time too with the good ol' man!
Tip# 2 - This tip is related to Tip# 1. Now that he's familiar with the basics, give him stuff to do like, make him type simple emails, open a program he would normally leave to his assistant to do or to you or better yet, let him try the social media scene and understand how the world has evolved with technology.
Tip# 3 - If he's having trouble with the keyboards and the commands to use when typing a simple correspondence using a word processing software, teach him the shortcut keys. Let go of the "mouse" once in a while. It's good for his hands. Keeps the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at bay too!

When we were about to go to Korea, we helped my FIL set up with a new computer so we could all chat. He hated it lol although the other family members help him operate it when he wanted to chat with us when we were already in the land of the morning calm.
