I was put off by computers in 1968 by a DEC PDP 8 with 2k of memory. It was the size of a fridge. It consisted of discrete component structure ie single transistors. You could get it to work better by connecting wires at the back OH JOY!. I had to learn machine code to do anything significant.
Now I have six computers and they collectively have more processing power than the whole of CSIRO had fifteen years ago.
And I still have trouble! Thats why I have six. One that works and the others to make sure it does!
