"Conectar" was my introduction to computers. When I was a teenager I felt that some people were really making an effort to bring new opportunities but many didn't appreciate it, like teachers who couldn't figure out configuration stuff and just dismissed the effort by the government and personnel who worked in the program because they thought We (many poor children in the "Interior") wouldn't have any kind of curiosity about them. Don't misunderstand me but I used to heard things like "No entiendo para que lanzaron este programa si estos chicos nunca van a ser programadores o van a trabajar de éso"... Of course I can talk about it, It just wasn't about throwing computers to us and expect us to hack our way to success. I think that by mid 2020's Argentina will have much more literate computer users and many people with more expertise in a variety of things, and with that new context We will do better by recycling good ideas and reviewing mistakes from the past.
