I was very lucky to have a home PC in the 90s when I learned to type, use the Internet and use Word documents and play educational games. Others weren't so lucky. 

Access to computers and internet have life-long disparities in #computerliteracy and #computerscience majors. In the 90s, when computer access was taking off, African Americans had less access to computers and Internet than whites. 

Having a computer in the home conferred benefits in #computerliteracy and #academicperformance.

 These disparities in access have shaped computer science and tech culture today.
