“Behind the scenes, my parents were always hassling me about not getting outside and having a real life. They didn’t understand that tech was my life. It was the only thing I wanted to do. I had millions of friends online, from gamers to social media. And yea, I guess it got sort of addicting. I felt like a god, in a way. I know it might sound stupid to people who don’t get it, but I had the world at my fingertips.”
