Given this is Hacker News… it was a magical time for technology. Yes it helped I was ages 5-15 for that period. Computers were just coming into the general population and that was a mind blowing thing. At the same time, the pre-mass internet era meant that our brains were our own. Concentration and space to think weren’t yet deprecated features. Other than that it had the same ups and downs as any other time. |

Honestly, I was probably the most "techy" person I knew and I remember spending a lot of time back then messing around configuring memory and what was loaded to get things to run. It was interesting at the time, but I was also young and had nothing better to do.
To me, I find technology today be a lot more magical. I'm really glad I don't have to spend so much time just to get something basic running today.
