Obviously, there’s a difference between access to programming materials and the unethical majority of the internet.
I had access to the former at about 12 but no access to the internet until age ~23. Was about perfect.

- BoiledCabbage 1y agoNot having access to the internet during childhood 30-40 years ago is very different than not having access to the internet as a child now. I think most people are taking your description of your experience being positive as a recommendation - one that is very unrealistic in modern times.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoI’m describing a utopian ideal yes. I still think the open internet is not a place for children today. People forget the surveillance aspect, not to mention the other dozen negative aspects. It’s easy enough to download things for their local use.
