What a great learning tool the early personal computers were. It's a pipe dream, but I would have loved to have given my children a simpler device and restricted the internet until they were capable of assembling the hardware/software to get connected. These devices exist today as VMs. But, what I think we've lost is the boredom and free time that drives that type of learning and discovery.
