Well if you were on the internet 10-15 years ago you were at least somewhat familiar with computers. These days smartphones mean you can use the internet without ever using a PC. I think the dumbing down of devices will reduce the tinkering in younger generation. I got into programming because I was gifted an old pentium 1 with DOS and QBasic installed - trying to figure out how to play games on it. If someone just gave me a gaming console I'd just be glued to that.
