@Dan – yes my brother has taken a very different path.

I didn’t know that about Microserfs – I like that.

One of Douglas Coupland’s characters in Microserfs claims that Lego influenced a generation to develop a geek mentality because it trained kids to think of the world as ‘bits’ that could be assembled to do many different things.

So Tom – the big developmental question – has your brother taken a different path in life….?

i did not have Lego and i was very sad of this fact. all my friends had it and i remember how i went to visit them only to play with this colourful Lego. i think that every kid had a dream to have this constructor!

The same is true of the Web – we need to start by building the reusable bits, then the walls and only then the towers and spires and twiddly bits. That is so true. Everyone is so focused on the fancy, the extreme. But, not as much with the fundamentals. Excellent post. Mattou DieganSquared.com

Interesting post! I myself really loved Lego as a kid, and I built what ever I needed to play whatever I played. I really liked to see my constructions grow. And when it comes to early computers, I too chose something I could build from scratch, an Sharp MZ-700. I remember having to “install” the operating system every time I tuned on the computer, by playing one of those old cassettes in the internal tape recorder. Interestingly enough, though, I made the same experience as you; I did not get as far as I wanted in terms of programming. But whatever I learned from BASIC, and later Visual BASIC, actually have been useful later in life.
