I've always loved technology...I had family members who were TV repairmen, and that's how I got into tech stuff as a kid....our family was the first in our apartment complex to have a color TV..this was back in 1965. As a kid I had radios, a couple of decent record players, and I would read electronics magazines just to see what kind of new gadgets were on the horizon...First computer I ever got to use was an Apple IIgs(the last Apple II family computer made)...My own first computer was a second hand Packard Bell PC compatible...the Compaq Presario I have now is really cool, I got it two years ago this month....I think it's just that some people manage fine without computers, some use them just for work, and then there are she-geeks like me who use 'em for everything...and find it fun.
