My main point here is that children's lack of familiarity with or knowledge of "how things work" has always been both a strength and a weakness, and once we entered the current technology explosion it became a *clear* strength-on-net. And somehow culture did not really notice.
Adults have all sorts of ideas about what kids should and should not be spending their time doing. I wonder what percentage of the first generation of at-home coders curdled in the shell with parents heavily restricting computer access (and patting themselves on the back for it).
Very smart people talk about how "screen time" is different *now* due to "superstimuli." This is a very reasonable-sounding argument, but no more so than the arguments a generation back. Indeed, messing around in the terminal or on geocities was quite addictive for a lot of kids.
eSports becoming an actual profession should have shook a lot more parents, IMOpic.twitter.com/g3LbgGcSTt
Do you think any of this is due to changes happening far faster within a generation than before? I was always taking things apart to figure them out -- something with which my father (also an engineer) could relate.
Yes, I think assumptions are becoming obsolete at a much more rapid pace
i was blessed in the 80s to have parents who felt unease about the amount of time i was spending on the computer but also intuited that something big was happening they didn't quite understand so they let me be.
I remember these restrictions. I used to think that I didn't push boundaries like most kids. Turns out my parents remember me pushing the hell out of computer restriction boundaries. Their failure to hold the line led to most of my successes. 
I remember my parents were putting my spending all my time on the computer on the same footing as my sibling spending all theirs playing video games. Who’s laughing now! (Me)
