For sure. I was born in 1994 and the details are different but the magic is the same. I started fooling around on the family computer (some of my earliest "programming" was actually scripted PowerPoint). Eventually I got my own laptop and was off to the races. I wrote scripts to do everything, websites for fun, little games. I started making AIs to play bridge and loads of terminal games. That desire to make things has never stopped. Sure, sometimes I slow down and sometimes I speed up but I am constantly making these small fun projects that are 99% for my own enjoyment of the writing.
I don't think this will ever change. Creativity will always find a way out whether that is building in Minecraft or writing Minecraft mods in Java. Sure, it's a bit more "luxurious" with a computer at home or even a personal device and JavaScript rather than BASIC but at the end of the day nothing fundamental has changed.
