Fun. I didn't grow up issuing a Mac, not did I grow up using Windows.... Nor Linux.
When I started on computers, we used DOS.
I'm old.
I'm not old enough to remember punch cards, I was solidly in the x86 generation, but still.
For the record, I do IT support now. I'm the one that helps you with your printer.
Can we stop throwing around "autistic" for anything? Have people actually ever met autistic kids? It as nothing to do about having uncommon interest, it imply much more things then that.
Autism is a spectrum. Some autistic people are able to function somewhat normally while others might need help all their life. The term is certainly over used but it's possible to meet someone autistic without ever knowing it.
Yeah, I've worked with autistic people for 10 years, I'm pretty aware of what it is. I find it insulting for these people to see this condition use as a buzzword for memes.
A home-built (from a set) one-board computer counts as what?
Autistic children will be discluded from the study for skewing results
back in the 80's, whole rooms of Apple Computers sat empty, all day, everyday. At all the different schools i went to as a child.
I assume it's because none of the teachers wanted to learn them, it was real fucking shitty growing up surrounded by so many stupid fucks.
but now, soon, AI will be x1000000000⁷ better teachers. So at least the children will have an actual chance in this world, and so many of them won't choose liberal arts as their course of studies. -all that time they were just disciplining the children

Gotta get my kicks somehow
I started on Commodore (Vic20 that I don't remember much, C64, and A500) mostly with a tiny bit of Atari and then was on Windows at home for decades (I tried installing Linux (Mandrake and Redhat) back when it fit on a floppy, but without a lot of success). I guess I'm too old and not neurotypical enough?
I take it someone has already pointed out that excluded was the word wanted?
Disclude is a perfectly cromulent word.
Run a second correlation on the incomes of these families and the tech literacy of their children and see what you find. I have a hypothesis.
In my experience kids who had iDevices don't grow up to be tech literate but do have decently off parents.
I also grew up dirt poor and only had a webTV til I was like... 14. I'm way more tech literate than most it seems.

Wasn't that pretty expensive? Or am I thinking of something different?
Something different... it was like 20 bucks a month and the receiver we didn't pay for thankfully. Although the receivers were still much cheaper than a PC and certainly cheaper than a mac... around 2-300 I think?
