Paid to play gamesWhen I was about 12, I got paid to play text-based adventure games on an Apple II for hours for a psychology experiment. It turned out the whole thing was designed to see how people respond to receiving a reward (points in the game); basically, I was being compared to a chicken receiving feed for hitting a button.
I'd have done it for free, but ended up earning more than I would've for lugging newspapers around in the rain. It was an important lesson in how computers can be used to avoid hard work.

Yeah of course...I can type pretty well, they can only do the "hunt and peck" technique (sorry).
