common computer stories

After reading others experiences with computers, I noticed that one common theme is that we started using computers at a very young age. Most of us began in grade school, developing common skills needed, and over time, developed the same requirements for using the computer. I also noticed that I'm not the only person that came from a family that used dial-up.

Experience with Computers

My first ever encounter with a computer came in kindergarten. We started by playing games, and improving reading and math skills. Since then I use the computer for many reasons. I use the internet to check my e-mails in order to stay connected with professors and classmates. I also use internet to program school databases including blackboard, buzz-in, and others. The internet helps me when researching for class papers and projects, as well as for entertainment purposes. This includes shopping, look at sports pages, and facebook. While I still wouldn't consider my a computer expert my any means, I continue to try and improve and learn new programs due to the fact that computers and technology is ever-changing.
