There's more to it than that.  In the old days (good old days already?)
you learned on a mainframe, with cards or timesharing.  (That's the recent
old days.)  This forced a community amongst the hacks, and people learned
and even had role models.

Today you can have your equipment at home easily.  Anybody serious does.

The problem is that you can only go so far interacting only with the
computer.  To go further you must bring other people into the picture.

This is probably a temporary situation, which will end when the personal
machines are all on WorldNet.
