when i was that age (give or take a few years) the internet wasnt accessible and it was still screaming in AOL when it did work
and i was taught to use a computer watching my dad play quake and shit, then being sat in front of it with one of those kiddie educational puzzle games and i had no fucking clue what any of it was or how anything functioned. couldnt so much as figure out how to go back a menu or anything, nothing clicked for me yet.
wouldve been much better for me if id started with mspaint and a typing program and learning how to use the computer, not try to figure out a "game" with no conceptual understanding of the controls and system for it besides moving the mouse and clicking repeatedly until the lag let it click the thing i was clicking (and zero assistance in teaching me besides a few seconds of "click that, do that, ok youre on your own stop asking me questions").
