Unironically video games, and whether they want to admit it or not, it's the same for most of Jow Forums.

Once I hit puberty and started reading about every kind of topic, i started to dive into pc gaming and how it worked, reading about software development and what goes on behind my scream blew my mind and made me see things with a much different lookm especially after becoming privacy concious, so now I strive for a career on the security area, both hardware and software security, either that or a game dev

I try to explain to my friends why all of this fascinates me so much, but I dont often have success, thats why I lurk on Jow Forums so much

i was born into it because of my mom's interest in technology and to top it off i didn't have any friends when i was a child so it was hard for me to have cooperative hobbies

Video games & consumer electronics, mother was a database analyst/contractor in London so we had all the latest tech.

Also I made one of those pixel sites to become a millionaire, it didn't work.

I spent a lot of time on chatrooms as a kid and they were insecure as shit in those days so I viewed the hackers as wizards, I thought they were cool as fuck, so I wanted to become one.
