I remember the first time I’d ever seen a computer. It was1984 in Little Rock Arkansas I was 10. The teacher took the entire class to a different room in the school and they showed us a Commodore 64 and I’ll never forget them telling us that we were looking at the future and anyone that learns to program one will be rich. I remember saying I wanted to learn and the teacher specifically telling me “none of us know how to use it”. They could basically turn it on and load lemonade stand. That was it. I never saw that computer again and it wasn’t until I was 16 did I ever get my hands on a computer. For an hour a week playing lemonade stand. Seriously the teachers I had never learned to do anything. My family definitely couldn’t afford one. Once I got in college I finally started to get some serious access to a computer but was so far behind leading to programming was never happening. I had no idea how a computer actually worked until last year. 🤣🤣🤣
