I was born in 84 and have a lot of fond memories with Windows 3.1, solitaire and the progression of computer games as I grew up.
I sincerely hope this father kids his kids out of the house and into the backyard to make friends, built forts, break things, and all the other awesomeness I experienced as a kid growing up. If my dad started putting me in front of a terminal when I was 2 or 3, I'm nervous how I would have ended up.
Because I received my first programming book (HTML in 24 hours) when I was 13, I had plenty of years to learn to code, but didn't sit inside while all the other kids were playing for 13 years. Now I'm coding everyday, having a blast at my startup, and my best friends today are the kids from my neighborhood that I was building forts and setting off fireworks with 20 years ago.

One of their favorite activities is to build their own river systems using a slow trickle of water out of a hose & pipe onto a small mound of dirt.
