When I was 6, I was allowed to use the internet but there were limitations for time and keyloggers.

My parents gave up when they found out I was booting up with linux off a flash drive at 14.

I feel like I learned more about technology when there were obstacles to overcome, rather than instant gratification.

I would start my own kids off air-gapped and then gradually allow access, since for me it gave me a healthy respect for danger and taught me to find solutions.
