No but there are studies that indicate early exposure to computers leads to high tech literacy.
Now that first exposure is a phone or tablet this no longer holds.
The few households that still have a normal computer, the kids will probably have a higher tech literacy if they use the computer.
When I met my now wife’s 13 year old, his first question was “So I’m building a Linux machine, which file system should I use?”
We had a good discussion about the pros and cons of the different file systems.
He’s gone on in the AI space, speaking at conferences and delivering papers and such.

I’m sorry for your loss…
I know, right? 😂
And that at 13 years old? /jk
Lies, all these words and you didn’t say which file system was the best. I bet your wife goes to a different school.
It’s ext4, always ext4.
ZFS would like a word
Oh, isn’t the question a wordplay? btrfs…
I want to know more about the school. Public? Private?
FOSS
I like that it’s free and open source, but I’m not sure how much I’d trust a school that’s software only…

The nature is healing!
This is wholesome as hell.
Young people interested in tech always existed but there was half a generation long phase where it was just “people being raised by their parents to work at google one day.”

Now teach the kid about salvaging old hardware, repurposing old laptops as low-power servers. It’s a lot easier to justify for a kid than the expense of buying stuff, and greener.
The name of that 10 year old, Rebecca.

Hope that some part of the world will continue to be like you? And if it is, that means it’s good for humanity? That’s…existential ego?
I’ll take ‘things that never happened’ for 200$.

What about teaching them about socialism?
Well, certainly that wasn’t in Germany.
And then there was me that at school we were still using 286s with turbo pascal during the windows XP era
Edit: it was hilarious that the computers didn’t have an hard drive and every student had to have a bootable floppy with dos 5 or something like that, on this way the teacher didn’t have to worry about viruses and hard disk corruption lol
