The same applies to the original topic: among the
many replies suggesting how
a child *should* learn about computers, I didn't see
many suggestions that the
child him/herself might be the best judge and
perhaps the best approach might
be to explore what his/her interests are (instead of
what yours were), and provide
whatever resources are appropriate and relevant to
those interests.
It just stands to reason that dad, being himself
interested in this stuff, might want to introduce his
child to what interests him. This doesn't mean he's
being forced to persue or like something. Being that
his son expressed some interest in how the things
tick, he asked for advice on the best way for him to
get his feet wet and maybe provide a springboard for
further investigation. It goes w/o saying the child
might lose interest at some point.
