I was 7, 30 years ago. We wouldn't have a computer in the house for another 10 years. Owning a personal computer in the 80's wasn't given, even in the middle class white Connecticut suburban neighborhood I grew up in. I was introduced to Logo at school maybe not at seven, but maybe 11? Looking back, I would have given anything to just have more play time where I made up the rules, and those rules weren't called "rules" (because that's what playing is, right?) As an adult, I find that I'm not playing by making computer programs, but by going into the woods, and pretending I'm basically a kid and exploring and getting a bit caught up in my own imagination. It's... it's lovely.
