My aunt owned a cyber about that time. Instead of spending my free time playing in the (dangerous) streets of Brazil, I spent it playing Warcraft III, CS and surfing the web. Yes, I don't remember exactly when but I think I was, at most, 5 years old?

Why is that weird? I recall starting videogames around that time, and if the internet had been easier to access I probably would have been on there as well.

Most 3 year olds can't read.

The statement was "<year>, when I was 3 or 4 years old". I took that to mean it was closer to four, which is not that weird of an age to be able to read. Or at least I thought so, until I looked it up. I guess it is pretty unusual.

Children who can’t read browse the Internet using visual cues (bookmark buttons, suggested sites, sometimes recent site autocomplete, etc.) All mouse or trackpad based. It’s obviously limited and from my observation, they have no idea they’re missing so much.

When I was 4 years old I was playing mac games on Mac OS 7 I think..

Must have been 3 or 4 when I downloaded bonzi buddy on our family computer.

I started my son on computer games (minecraft, Starcraft, borderlands) when he was 2.9

How fast did he learn how to read? I have a 4 year old that can recognize letters and numbers and slowly starting to connect the dots and read but I haven’t introduced him to computers yet. Im sure reading would improve faster but I feel there’s plenty of things to learn outside of computers at this age.
