Ah, that's true and I misunderstood you then. Though it's hard for me to understand how that implies tech literacy in a total sense, since my grandpa has had a pc in and from the 20th century and while literate on tech given his generation, he is really not comparable to gen y-alpha. I would also wonder how this compares to devs, since most of them grow up relatively the same. PC in front of them, seeing code, monkey see monkey do, wam bam bap, software developer. I am in my 20s so I do not have knowledge about the first personal computers.

They do have more neuroplasticity. But we have to define what that means and where this phenomenon comes from. Most just assume that younger equals better. This is not the case. You can even keep the neuroplasticity you have had as a child. One of the defining characteristics of neuroplasticity is the ability to adapt to new views. Since children have no views yet, they have no conflicting views either, causing acceptance. This is not the case with adults. But you can instrumentalize such knowledge to essentially undo your conflicting nature to increase neuroplasticity immensely. There is a cutoff and you will have a drop in potential for neuroplasticity as you age, but this is not in your child years. If you're interested, I remember reading a study of life-long meditation on alzheimers. Maybe you can find them again. This is just one technique to increase neuroplasticity. I didn't want to mention this part, as it is against common knowledge. But common knowledge is rarely correct.

I mean it's better for society since Burger King won't be getting so much moeny for a name.
Absolutely. But I don't think it's crucial. If you test a bunch of 30 year olds on tech literacy and one started using a computer at 29, he will perform bad. But if you test a child at 12 who has had a pc for 2 years and a 30 year old person who has had a pc for 2 years, it becomes so irrelevant that just interest in the topic will determine the outcome. Though children do of course find everything interesting.
I think the reason why we have the perception about children learning fast is due to focus. They have unique abilities with their new little unstuffed heads, while a grown up will worry about not understand, thinking about something else entirely, not having time etc..
Made you feel something killing your pc.
What was the big-toe-sized button for it fnot for the big to- you know what, I don't think I wanna know.
Usually matter in all three mayor states moving anround getting over an edge. And you can lick a very specific sphincter of my body. Preferably after my first bowel movement.
As a person outside of Canada, I too do not wish for Canada in war mode.

Your brain must be wired wrong, you're repeating yourself.
Drugs are not food, and with the exception for a few countires, drugs are pretty universal. Not eating anything for breakfast can actually be a healthier choice han doing so. But the land of the obese would understand.
Coward. I always convince them to shoot themselves in the foot.
More seriously, I don't think I will ever stop. It may not change their life significantly and immediately, but that's not necessary. Even if it makes them just be aware, that's enough sometimes to make a positive change. I'm all about that. The least we should do i lose hope. It's not that black and white.
