Somewhat analogous is PowerPoint, where I delighted in making games and movies as a child. It was possible to trigger actions when buttons and on screen elements were clicked. I used it as a poor man's Flash. Whilst it isn't versatile like I hear HyperCard was, it taught me computers could be used to create interactive media. It taught me that software can be stretched beyond its stated goal. And eventually I became a programmer. I have never tried a chrome book, but I hope there are still similar offerings in software for children looking to explore.
