This is one of the best comments I've read on this topic. Again, anecdotally, I look at the world in a massively different way than other people in my family (other than my brother who is also good with computers). This way of thinking is repeat with looking under the hood, analyzing why things behave the way they do, and imagining other outcomes that could occur. There is also a lo more questioning, followed by needing to know the answer.

I wonder how you could define a study to determine corellation versus causation here. Maybe I think this way because I've spent so much time fighting computers. Or maybe I've been willing to spend so much time fighting computers because I think this way. It's a fascinating question to me.
