I've said this a lot: They say that young people are good with tech, but they're *not*. They're good at consumer apps. There's a big difference. If you're good with technology, you can make it work for you. If you're good at a few apps, then you're working for the technology.

I hadn't seen that before, I'll read it.
I noticed my nephew was clever and interested in tech, so I gathered all the parts to build a PC, put it all together to make sure it worked, and then took it all apart and had him figure out how to put it together on his own. Even made a little 15 minute video with all the big details. Not many kids his age who can say they fully built their own computers including installing Windows and Linux. But it isn't something that just happens, it's something he needed to figure out one step at a time.
