If I could start learning BASIC on a ZX81 at the age of 7, I'm pretty sure anyone can. This is the era that got me into computers, and hopefully with the Pi and similar programmable devices available that are aimed at educating kids, that time will come again.
There's even a new version of the ZX Spectrum on it's way. http://www.specnext.com/ http://www.specnext.com/

- dirtbox 10y agoOur ZX81 came in a kit, so in essence I already did (with a lot of help).
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoOh. Heh. I guess things really don't change. Except now you have to buy it piecemeal.
