A few days ago our 8 years old was asking my wife how she got introduced to computers. She described how she transcribed with the help of her sister games listings from magazines to her C64. When she described how the process took a few days long of typing hex number he was completely astonished. My wife and I, both having the same background, looked at each other unable to express the marvel of succeeding in getting it to work, often times after numberless tries, to a child whose primary reference of a computer is an iPad. Later we discussed how grateful we were to having lived in such an era where the sheer naïveté allowed us to learn and experiment in ways now out of reach.
