How come you didn't nag your parents to register you one? You could've had your pick before all the good ones were taken! lol
I wanted to learn HTML almost from the minute I set foot in a CGI chatroom. (That's Common Gateway Interface, not Computer-Generated Imagery.) I learned everything I know online just by being excessively curious.
A big part of the problem is that computers don't teach computing anymore. That was a major selling point for computers when I was growing up. If you just wanted to play games, you bought a console. Computers were for learning computing. Every single one of them booted into a BASIC interpreter, not a desktop.
New systems like the Raspberry Pi open up a lot more learning possibilities than those old computers ever dreamed of doing, but what do the dumbfuck kids do with them? Why, they try to make cheap desktop computers out of them. No imagination at all. No curiosity beyond how many frames per second the video chip will do, or how much it'll cost to add a keyboard and monitor.
