Hah I think we must have had the same Logo teacher. I vividly remember him telling us that the computer is stupid and that it would only do what we told it to. I must have been around 8 years old, late 80's I think.

My interest in computers only resurfaced around 5-6 years later, complete with Geocities and Xoom experiments! How I wish I could find those first sites I made using Frontpage and copying HTML from other sites.

That was a nice read!

I read once that computers are like magic genies: they will grant your every wish, so long as you are able to carefully articulate what you want in such detail and with so little ambiguity that they cannot possibly misinterpret what you wish for.
