Ah yes, the old barnstorming days of early home computing. I followed a similar path. I did very well with Basic Language when DOS was all there was. I started to progress in to Assembly Language when I came to realize that I'd never catch up to the software appearing on the market.
When I finally got online in the late 90s I did a lot of research and eventually became good with HTML and SEO, but that was getting beyond catching up with, and then came the phone apps (that I didn't deal with).
Lately I've been working with my own private network. I started in on that with Windows XP up to Windows 10. I've integrated all my computers and devices including a CCTV security system, It includes ethernet connections, WiFi and Bluetooth networks. I can share a connection to the internet, even monitor it from my phone, but I keep it off line.
The computer central to my network (the node if you will) is powered on 12 volts DC as well as AC. I've played with it's voice recognition and intend to give it a voice as well. An AI or mesh-net project would be areas I'd be inclined to explore next.
