I showed my SO's daughter this and have never seen her so engaged in HTML. I didn't expect anything to come out of it, the goal was just to prank people. But it might be all it takes to push a young person over the edge and get them on the path to more learning.
- bombcar 4y agoThe Inspect Element -> Edit text pipeline is a powerful one. In general however, kids (let's be fair - people in general) aren't forced to learn HTML to make a "presence" on the internet anymore - you can do quite effectively just via the various platforms. Often the "why" you're doing something is unrelated to what you actually learn - so as others have said Minecraft et al may be more of a "gateway drug" than Geocities was.
