That’s something that bother me a lot. Nowadays systems are closed and their base security is totally teenager-proof.
A lot of « us » learnt to (love to) program or to hack on their crappy limited but « open » hardware.
This is not reproductible with an iPad or a smartphone and I’m really afraid that the current generation is going to let the machines control their lives because they’ll have no incentive to learn how to control the machines.
For this particular reason, I’m really happy that projects like Raspberry Pi just exists. And I’m pretty confident that my son’s first computer will be a Raspberry Pi 400 (or the equivalent, because he is too young atm).
