I remember back before I got my own PC. My brother had Windows 98, installed Morpheus (similar to Kazaa).
I looked for a game, I think it was some console game. "Wow, I didn't even know this was on PC! Wow, it's only 15MB, how did they get the game so small?? Computers are cool!"
Every time I ran it, the screen would go all funky with every click and after a while return to normal.
On a separate occasion I deleted System32 files (whichever ones it let me at the time), to free up space.
It's quite funny that a lot of people ask me for various advice, fixing devices, PCs, etc. just a friendly reminder to myself that everyone starts somewhere. Boy I messed up so many PCs when I was much younger.
Lots of engineers probably got their start by taking random things apart and breaking them as a kid too. Clocks, radios, etc.
As a current engineer I can confirm this is true
