When we first introduce Josh to computers, I think we’ll do so with a device that isn’t connected to the internet at all. Maybe an old iMac with just some games and apps installed to toy around with.

@mdrockwell Do it! Not a parent, but that’s how I first developed my interest in computers (and design). A friend gave me an old candy iMac. Wasn’t connected to the interwebz, so I just opened sys prefs and toggled things while learning and exploring.
Nowadays, I can’t imagine being a kid and having free reign to the online world with all of its horrors. Addiction is profitable, and developing lifelong addicts? People are heavily, heavily invested in that.
