I agree with you. I think there was NEVER more exciting time for the folks truly interested in computers and tech in general. So many fantastic technology breakthroughs came to fruition. Things that used to be available only to research institutions and the military are now sold on Aliexpress for almost nothing.
$1 microcontrollers, robotics, hundreds of programming languages that one can choose from, IoT FPGAs, and so, so much more. And what's even better is that computers are now everywhere, so we are no longer building things that are locked in a box on your table. You can command real-world objects, move real money, alleviate a disability, change people's lives, and all through your code.
I also believe that the most crucial aspect in all of this is that there's finally readily available, well-presented knowledge about all those things. Incredible educators and hobbyists in many of the fields mentioned above spend their days trying to get people interested and inspired and help them learn for FREE. Knowledge and expertise on most topics nowadays are just a few clicks away. I LOVE this.
