My dad smashed my computer around the laundry (where the computer lived) with my cricket bat because I was "playing games" instead of studying.

"playing games" was using assembly language and pascal with s3m libraries to program a game.

With my kids I've felt the rise of anger when they want to be autonomous and pursue their own interests. I mean, I was taught that parenthood is subjugation.

But just like my dad couldn't realise that there was a rising future in gaming as an industry or the internet, because it was so far removed from his traditional roots, who am I to say that Minecraft, Youtube, or some variant of it won't be the future operating system of society.
