> Online resources are not very different than having access to good libraries.
When I was 10 or 11, I was trying to use some operating system call on my Acorn Electron. The manual said one of the parameters had to be supplied using "two's complement". I had no idea what that was, and no idea how I might find a good explanation in the local library.
Today, a kid could find a great explanation in 2 mins, without walking to the library.
