Material World I: how to get there

How to survive into the event horizon of binary world.

Years ago...many years ago I started in programming. It's was in 80's and I was 12 years old. It's was like a cake calling me while I had my hands in the clay, literally. So, I decided to get a glance over this curious binary land.

Attracted by an Atari 800XL, Basic and Logo programming languages and following with one hand on the clay, I discovered the magic turtle...my first PLOTs and DRs, Repeat, etc. Later on came the first "10 CLS" and the screen faded to black. Black screens with green characters (no artistically motivating at all), algorithms, arrays, functions, sentences, mathematical problems and other programming languages such as Cobol and Pascal and the best: a great headache.

By then, programming was aimed at solving logic problems (at least in my school) and I was confused and disappointed, because I was looking for clay in programming all the time, even though I didn't know it at that time. I didn't want to replicate Arcade games even though I was a fan of Montezuma, Frogger and 1942, but I also didn't want to program boring routines.

Confused and sad, my brain short-circuited and I drop off this world for some years.
