I feel much the same way about having been given my own computer with internet when I was about the same age in the late 90s.
Following developments in VR/AR for a while, I've felt like we've been in a "business computers before spreadsheets", "home computers before the internet", "mp3 players before the iPod", "PDAs before the iPhone" sort of period, wondering if we'd see a sea change platform emerge. I generally have a low tolerance for hype, but I'm excited about the potential here. Can't wait to experiment with developing software for it!
