My dad was in computers, but more on the sales / it solution design side. Regardless the exposure was there, and when I was about 8 or 9 or so I had saved for a year of diligently doing chores and got my Vic 20 in the early 80s
I was never going to be anything else than a programmer, although it took me a while to realise it. :)
Today I have a son age 7 and he's on Tynker, and Dash & Dot. I reckon programming is going to be more of a skill to have which can then become the basis for other engineering things, we'll see I guess - but he'll have that from an early age at least.
(FWIW, I was so impressed to see Tynker introduce pub sub events in their courses early on. A lot of work places could do well to use such patterns..)
