Server clusters and fiberoptic networks. My parents ran a dairy and cattle farm better than I ever could, though. In a pinch I could probably do it, but not for 40 fucking years.
My mom is 72 now. I wonder if I could teach her the concepts of my job if she really wanted to.
Edit: Funny thought I just had.. I am myself a living incarnation of the "old man yells at cloud"-meme, as I mostly deal with on-prem stuff. I've toyed around a bit with Azure, but that's it. My dad liked excel for accounting, that was the extent of his IT skills. Holy fuck, him dealing with azure would piss him off enough to stay alive longer just to get a chance to kick whoever invented cloud computing in the nuts. He's among the most stubborn people I've ever known.

Show empathy towards those that have different experiences than I do

Being alive

Art. Both of my parents have watched me draw and they still say "I just don't know how you do it"
