I actually envy that 10 yr old. I had passion for tech at a very young age but I lacked the environment. My middle school and high school didn’t have computer / electronics classes so I was mostly self taught (had a lot of knowledge gaps/ had a hard time understanding). I didn’t start taking tech seriously till college.
Yep. I’m an 80’s kid. First PC I ever touched was a C64 in grade school, this was in 1991. At the next school, we had a single DOS PC and my high school only had a few DOS PC’s. This was in 1995. A year later our family bought our very first home desktop with Windows ‘95.
I absolutely would’ve loved it if my schools had good computers and actually taught tech at that time. But back in those days, computers were seen as something nerdy and generally useless.
I basically had to discover and learn about tech on my own. Which I did enthusiastically. I carried a Palm Pilot through college and even wrote software for it.
