I remember clearly that someone brought an Apple II to my preschool. This would be early/mid 80’s. It had a color monitor and they showed off some maze running math game (probably Number Munchers or something like that), but for some reason what really grabbed my little 3 (4?) year old mind was just this simple graphical program that displayed multicolored <<< shapes that lined up and spiraled outwards. I remember thinking, “hey it looks like my living room rug!”
But that’s when I realized that there was this magic box under the monitor. It was covered in buttons AND IT LET YOU CONTROL WHAT WAS SHOWING ON THE TV!! It set my little brain on fire and I’ve been hooked ever since.
