about people that learned how to assemble a computer at a young age, i remember
talking with the Sutherland brothers once about their childhood. Ivan explained

Ivan and Bert have been special in the development of some of the most
important parts of computing.
This year is the 50th anniversary of Sketchpad -- still one of the very few top
conceptions in computing, still one of the greatest theses ever done, and still
very much worth reading today.
