I know enough about computers to get me by. I didn't know anything when I first started using one though. I have came a long way. What about you? Do you know a lot about your computer?

We had our first computer back in the late 90's. It was a pentium 386. Would you imagine running application on a 386 mhz cpu and 8mb ram? Now you can see 3Ghz or more and 8GB of memory or more. Well, I became interested in computers because of our first computer. I even took up a BS-Computer Science in college. Now I am working as a computer programming for a software company.

Thanks, When I was little I dreamed of being an inventor. Well, that didn't happen. In a way. Because now, i invent programs rather than machines. I can look at it in a way that I have achieved my dream.haha

hUhuhuhuhu That's one of my bigggest problem when I first study in a university.and good right now i know but not that much only a little. I only know some basic things and still learning everyday some new applications and anything. In this world learning about new technology especially computer will make you an edge with others in applying for a job.

That is very true. Things are always changing also so we always have new things to learn.

I had my first computer when I was in fifth grade, back then broadband internet connections were not mainstream yet. During that time, probably one of the most important things to learn on a computer especially for a student is microsoft office. I had a great passion for learning about computers, so at a young age I read computer magazines and asked an uncle to help me widen my knowledge on computers. I learned to do minor troubleshooting, repair and reprogramming of desktops, now I am currently taking up engineering and I must continue to widen my knowledge on computers. Actually, nowadays thanks to the internet, learning is much easier than before, even small kids like my cousins are somehow really good at using the computer for their age.

That is great to hear. I learned most of the stuff that I know about computers, just by getting online and experimenting with it and asking other people online questions about it.

I know this and that. I'm not a huge technical computer guru at all. I like using them and thats about it. I have been using them for over 10 years and still cringe when something goes wrong and half the time don't think I can fix it myself.

I still cringe when something goes wrong with my computer also. I can fix some things but not everything.

I will not at all use the word "lot" as far as knowing computers is concerned. I do not like indulging myself into gadgets, though I occasionally get impressed by some. I use computers but my knowledge is very limited in this field. I have a few friends of mine very good in this field and I seek to them for any help.

When i was first started using the computer i did not know much about it. But after using it day by day any problem arises i will search it on the internet and find the solution then rectify it myself. This gives me more confidence on using the computer and get knowledge about it. Using the computer itself not advisable we should know each and every part of it how it is working and if any trouble comes we should solve it ourself and nothing is happened in my side i will call the service engineers. In this way of troubleshooting i am fixing all of my computer issues. You must have lot of patience to do these tasks . Patience and hardwork is the only key to learn new things.

No, not really. I know some basic stuff and I know quite of a lot of things about the Internet, but that's all. If the computer breaks down, I'm not going to be able to repair it myself nor detect the proble :).
