I've heard of being raised on the bread line, or the poverty line, but the command line? That's real deprivation. Imagine how excited they will be when they learn about hot water and inside toilets.
More seriously, what can a 2-5 year old do on the command line that would interest them? I'm genuinely curious.

- bluedino 13y agoMost 3 year olds can write their name (at some degree) and recognize quite a few words.

So being as the command line pretty much is the closest thing we have to actual magic spells anyway, it's going to be useful for them to encounter this fact early on, while they still find it easy to accept.
- inkandstick 13y agoWell I was raised on DOS around that age and there were plenty of Sesame Street[1] style DOS games I could launch. I don't know that I could do much more, at that age you kind of run on autopilot with remembering the exact method to do something.
