I wouldn't say I'm non-technical. I spent most of my childhood on computers in the 90s-early 200s. Jumped on AOL very early on, got into Warez, progs, all that fun stuff, then into early web development (MS Frontpage!), built a blog from scratch using ASP + text files (back when we called them eZines) in 2000, got into IRC, running piracy groups and scripting some pretty cool stuff in mIRC scripts, and then later on tinkering with building stuff in PHP and such. Unfortunately, IT and sofware were not considered good career paths around 2002-2003, at least to my immigrant parents, and I was steered the wrong way as far as picking a major. I'm still figuring out my career path, sadly, but I don't think I would have been a very good software engineer anyways. Nonetheless, I have a close affinity still to tech, software, startups and such so I've been coming here for a while. Actually, I feel nostalgic for the older days of the internet, when it was a lot less crowded, it was easier to get attention for something new, and there were less charlatans and hucksters trying to get funding for startups. Too much money flowed into the internet, and I don't think it's the "frontier" it used to be anymore. Not that you asked, but I think the full migration of "the press" onto the web has not necessarily been to the web's benefit either (take a look at Google results these days for anything that's not a product and you'll just find the same few online newspapers and blogs dominating).
