I was 13 when I started learning programming, in high school, which wasn't recently either

Around thirteen I was taught to use a slide rule. ;) Got a four function calculator in 7th grade! Later on a TI-59 I played line-command Lunar Lander as a teen.

When they came out I got a Commodore64 and taught myself basic and started modifying Snake and Gorilla. lol
