>Plenty of technologists were gamers, but not all gamers become technologists. It's just that the former dominate here.

I was a gamer, and didn't become a technologist. I had no idea what a computer program was!

(If that sounds silly, consider all the things you see every day without understanding)

Mostly, my gaming experience was a write-off. It stunted my social development, blocked me from doing more interesting activities, and contributed very little to my well-being.

I may have learned some strategic thinking from games like Starcraft, which I think has carried over to entrepreneurship. But oh, how I wish I could get that time back.

Or, I wish someone had shown me a terminal and what it could do. One glimpse would have been enough.
