We did a several thousand mile road trip a couple years ago. We planned it out using various online tools and pen and paper. Will have to look into doing something like this the next time. The kiddos got to see a LOT of really cool things.

I don't think you can put an age range on this. As an example: Look at all the QAnon believers. They're pretty much all ages. Look how many of those people went to Dallas for Kennedy's return.

I implement protocols to communicate with various hardware (RFID, LiDAR, etc). Most of these communicate over sockets. Some still use serial. I have a library I wrote of socket routines that I use, so it's not like I re-implement that
