What could be the best way to introduce the world of computers to a kid, let’s say of 6 years old, so that he learns to handle it like a toy and stops dreading it like some esoteric, arcane and recondite machine from some eldritch, enigmatic, cryptic and phantasmal world ?


Get an old PC, have a secure external data storage, and let them delete system files a few times, then teach them how to fix it themselves. Familiarity breeds comfort.
