    I loved learning about how computers worked when I was a little kid. My (much) older brother taught me all about how the Apple II worked when I was 6, and within a few months, I knew enough to use it myself. I had important games to play, but I still wanted to know how it all worked.

        What evidence do you have that most children aren’t interested in learning how things work? Because there are a lot of children’s books about how things work.

            Aren’t those also anecdotal examples?
