I got a Raspberry Pi 3 for my nephew in the hopes that he could learn to program on it with supervised, timed internet access only. Anything else, he would have to use what's on the machine, or download it when he's allowed online. We didn't have internet when I was learning how to computer, so I had to entertain myself with whatever we did have. My VIC-20 was strictly a BASIC machine, we didn't even get any games for it. (My TI-99/4A was a different story.) I thought maybe he could benefit from that sort of restricted exposure to tech.
But I was already too late. Kid's WAY into Minecraft, and consumes all sorts of videos from my sister's iPad in terms of how to build things with it.
He's a teenager now, and I'm having some discussions with my sister about when is a good time to expose him to Doom (1993). Fragging cacodemons is a rite of passage any teen must undergo.
