Apparently Scott F's "log cabin story" includes him "predicting the Internet" at age 12.

AARNET's first Internet link went live in 1989. Scott was 12 in 1991.

"Predicted".

(PS can I vomit over the phrase "log cabin story" being applied to a kid from
... Parramatta?)

It got me a job, ostensibly as a data curator and then as AARNet’s first (professional) sysadmin.
