Yup, agree with this.

And this is why I'm teaching my kids computer stuff. We haven't gotten too crazy with it, but my kids have built some stuff in Scratch and helped me assemble my PC (they'll assemble their own) with me explaining what the main bits do. I also intend to do some basic Arduino-type stuff w/ them as well once I get started w/ home automation (have a NAS and some apps, but no sensors or anything cool like that).

They'll probably never need that knowledge, but having the ability to reason about a problem using some foundational knowledge should be useful regardless of what they do (i.e. why isn't this working? I'll check the wires, run a simpler test, etc).

But do they have to set jumpers on the motherboard to choose the processor voltage?

And make sure the IRQs on their sound card and printer don't conflict ?

I think they open sourced that recently... I should take a look.
