Children lack experience and they lack assumptions developed under old parameters in a rapidly-changing world. Due to practice, adults will often be more persuasive whether their arguments are obsolete or not. And anyway, "under my roof," etc. I hope I parent with some humility.

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).

Replying to @webdevMason
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
