Yes, I said so in second paragraph. And there is nothing wrong with that. It also won't make you out of touch from peers nor harm your social development. No matter how unusual your parents hobby or interests, parents making you interested does not do harm.

The social harm can potentially happen if parent is preventing contact with peers and their culture too much.

Yep. But, the best thing my parents ever did for me was not allowing me to use a phone until I was 16. I still had a laptop I could communicate with friends from, but the physical barrier to constant communication was incredibly important to help me not develop an addiction to all things internet.
