The presence of computers has allowed me to become smarter if only because it is an outlet for my curiosity.

Nobody encouraged me or teach myself computer programming do encourage me much to do learning activities on my own. The only aspect that my parents were concerned about is the grades in school.

However, this kind of curiosity and the drive to teach oneself some sort of skills is probably very rare.
