We used RM Nimbus at school, we moved onto Apple Macs in Year 5 and up to year 8 in secondary school. The first time I used Windows was win 95 when we got our first PC when I was in year 9. I just missed out on Netscape: (
I was used to ClarisWorks and MS Office wasn’t as intuitive and took a few sessions to master. Although if they’d been using the ui they have now, I’d have thrown in the towel. I use libreoffice at home and hate when I have to use ms office and its stupid ui at work.
I did teach myself HTML, php and a bit of JavaScript. I coded a forum software when I was 19 from scratch using php just to see if I could. Coding was my special interest at the time.

I am autistic so I’m excluded from this study.
No but there are studies that indicate early exposure to computers leads to high tech literacy.
Now that first exposure is a phone or tablet this no longer holds.
The few households that still have a normal computer, the kids will probably have a higher tech literacy if they use the computer.
