Idk if I was a kid I would be playing around with this tech. Sadly, as an adult I am just scared of this tech. So funny how 20 years changes your brain and perception of tech. 100% a younger me would be in my ceiling room soldering stuff like this together and hooking it up to pc somehow.
Focus more on what you want to see: there are great uses for this tech that would make life better. You can be apart of building it or you can support the people and organizations that are in this for the right reasons.
