I think a lot of it comes down to whether or not it interests you. Basically every programmer I've ever known naturally got into programming because they screwed around on the computer in their free time and eventually stumbled onto some task they wanted to do that took them down that road. Who knows how many people are in the field now because they wanted to play around with Minecraft mods 10 years ago. I think if the power of a computer is put at your fingertips and you don't want to dig deeper, or see what else you're capable of creating, that's just how it is. I don't think it's any different from how some people never get into sports. It's fine to introduce kids to it and I'm sure it'll take with some of them, but there's no need to force it any more than you would with any other field.
