Well I learned to program and how UNIX systems worked from having a computer and a library. Today you wouldn't really need the library if you have an internet connection.

What's the point? Indeed that's your attitude and is ok.

At my age when I was in school the whole class had a computer (like 25 of us). Today of that class only 3 work using computer everyday.

The second part of my comment explain that if you've the right attitude and interest then a computer can help you, if you don't is just another tool like your fridge
