It will be fun for the kids and it will be dumbed down enough for them if they can relate to it.
As an example of a web server. Have about 10 copies of some childish website printed out and hand them to a volunteer (this kid is the server) then have 10 other kids requesting a copy of the website (the clients).
That explains in general the concept of server vs client.
Then you can say when the said kid (server) gets sick or breaks a leg or whatever, he can't hand out the website anymore and you have to go make him/her better.
I don't think I'd give any tedious details of windows vs unix unless you want to 'enlighten' them but I doubt they'd care.
I agree our brains are at fault but mainly due to scenarios such as.
Little Billy grabs 3 marbles and tosses them in his mouth and chokes. He gets rushed to the hospital and saved. Next day little billy grabs 3 marbles and tosses them in his mouth and chokes. He gets rushed to the hospital and saved. etc etc etc Little Billy is now Big Billy and knocks up Big Suzy and continuation of a faulty line of genes...
What I'm trying to say is we are not progressing because we are not being mortally punished by stupidity anymore. If a damn monkey (APE, I MEAN APE) stuck some marbles in his mouth and choked, he'd be DEAD.
Anyway, I could go on and on with how many ways we have completely destroyed any chance of progressing as a species... We're DOOOOOOOMED.
