Ditto. Grew up watching TOS in 70’s and 80’s. When I was 4, I started building the Enterprise in the back yard, and knew how to do it. Though I don’t know now.
The TOS heavily influenced me into electrical engineering, especially Spock building something to save the day, such as the mnemonic memory circuit with stone knives and bear claws.

Hah, I did the same when I was ~10. With a friend, we went out to the park behind some trees where people were dumping appliances, and collected 2 bags of scrap electronics. My mother wasn't too happy when I brought it all home.
