Very yes. Me as well.
I got my first unsupervised access to my grandparents' computer at age 7, but with no Internet. Then at age 10-11 some foundation for underprivileged kids gifted me my own computer with free unlimited dialup and a separate phone line. This was definitely a turning point in my life.
The fact that my single mother parent trusted me with my independence was a huge amplifier, too.
