I'm too young for what you guys are talking about, but I've always have trouble articulating how I got [sucked] into computing. It feels like I did a similar thing with HN and the internet in general.
I think osmosis is one of my new favorite ways to put it hehe.
As an old guy, I'd say computers where a pretty unknown thing when we got them... That was new and niche when it all started. So we had the feeling of entering something totally new. But we were alone, on different computers, so a lot of islands...
I guess with internet, it's more like joining something that's rolling on but as big as an ocean..
