I learned this when I was a wee lad: I was playing Runescape and trying to solve a quest I was stuck on with a walkthrough. The guide said that the macguffin was on the first floor of some building, and I must have spent hours looking on the ground floor with no luck.
I finally asked my big brother for help and he said, "Have you tried looking upstairs?" And there it was, blew my mind.

I became proficient at typing for Runescape.
I learned scripting from MUDs. That's really how I learned automation and why I have the job I have today.
